I'm thinking about getting serious about my desire for a Broadcaster. Anyone know of ones for sale? Advice from owners appreciated.
Get in touch with Nacho, he'll know what's available but not necessarily advertised.
troyad,
Is it just me or is the Low E string awful close to the edge of the fingerboard? Doesn't look like it is on the saddle in a funky way (where one could loosen the string and wiggle it over a bit), maybe a poorly cut nut?
You can adjust this with bolt ons. You just loosen the screws and knock it into place. Wham bam Fender style!
I've had two 1951 Fender guitars. An Esquire and a Tele. The Esquire is from April and the Tele was made in August. The Tele was a toneless plank so I sold it. The Esquire sings like a bird so I still have it. Less than 7#. Not all of these guitars were blessed with good tone. From what I've read the tooling got better as the orders came in and the early guitars had crooked holes and a ledge in the neck pocket. There are not many Broadcasters out there to be had but if I was going to pull the trigger on that much dough I would definitely want a trial period.I'm thinking about getting serious about my desire for a Broadcaster.
