@richardrybinski2320 6 жыл бұрын

I've owned my '60 burst for years. You'd be surprised at the tele tones that can be gotten from a burst. Black guards are great; I prefer my burst and my '60 bound sunburst Custom Telecaster. But it's all good. Good players can get their desired tones through most any rig that they choose to use. That being said....I dig this Broadcaster. However, I think my favorite year for black guards are the '53s. But thats just me. Cheers.

Thing is, you just can't reissue a 59 Les Paul because the old growth Mahogany is all gone. But this.. The Broadcaster, all of these woods are still readily available. We just need better quality magnet wire in the pickups, and original alloys in the bridge, saddles, and tuners, and they could make these again!!

Fender (Don Randall, that is) chose not to make waves and the name was changed to Telecaster soon after. But there was no lawsuit.
