Fender Broadcaster 1950 Matte Natural Refinish

Fender Broadcaster 1950 Matte Natural Refinish. in fair condition with new non original brown thermometer case. The Broadcaster is heavy at 9lbs fully loaded. It's hard to believe what some people do to guitars, this early piece of history is a great example of craziness. Such as cutting a small diamond out of back!! or installing a pickguard that coverd the whole top!! When I started the resurrection it had a HORRIBLE chocolate brown/ red sunburst hand painted. The overspray on the neck was so thick it was almost fretless!! I spent many hours just getting it back to playing condition and it actually plays & sounds amazing!! I refinished in a matted clear finish with the idea that anyone buying this would want to see what they were getting into.  Thinking the buyer would want to refinish to their specs. Below I've listed all that is original and non original on this guitar.  Please read list and check all photos.
