Hand wound to perfection
True, original tone. Custom Shop hand wound Loaded '51 Nocaster pickups provide the foundation of this guitar's luscious vintage tone.

Hand wound for the perfect sound, you'll never go short of inspiration when your hear this pair of beauties purring away.
Majestic maple magic
Take yourself back. No other guitar can replicate the fulsome, satisfying feel of '50s Fender necks. Made to a '50 Broadcaster 'U' shape, this model's neck looks and feels like a dream. In your hands, it'll feel undeniably satisfying, enabling you to let your creativity flourish and ignite your musical passion. When you play it, you're playing the same neck which the pioneering electric guitarists of the '50s played. Smooth, sweet, and crafted with excellence, it's supremely playable, with a snappy resonance – perfect for any playing style and genre.
Rewarding maple fretboard
Write music. On the sleek one-piece maple fretboard of the Broadcaster, you'll be able to let that vintage inspiration run free as you create your own classic chops. From the smooth wood to the vintage medium frets themselves, it beams with '50s charm. Also offering the same bright tone and sweet sustain as the neck, you can be sure it'll create scintillating tones which bring out every crisp detail of the notes you're playing. With the cutaway body shape giving you access to the very highest frets, your playing will feel liberated.
Optimised performance
