*This is a used guitar in excellent condition.
*This is a consignment item
*Includes tweed hard shell case and leather "Nacho Bag" with COA, USB hard drive of instrument photos, "ashtray" bridge cover, signed build sheet and booklet of photos and info from the early days of Fender
*Observations: If you're fanatical about Telecasters, then you probably know the name Nacho Baños. If you don't, Nacho is one of the foremost experts on what makes the Teles of the 50s such special instruments. Having owned, played and studied literally dozens and dozens of prime vintage Teles, Nacho produced the legendary "The Blackguard Book" and began creating his own ultra-authentic T-style guitars that encapsulate all the details that made the vintage instruments great while still standing out as amazing guitars in their own right.
This one is extraordinarily light weight (only 5 lbs 15.5 oz!) and is very acoustically loud and resonant. This one has a 4-way pickup selector switch, offering bridge, neck & bridge in parallel, neck, and neck & bridge in series. Nacho's factory aging is probably the best in the business, as playing this guitar feels eerily close to the experience of a real vintage Fender. The tone is absolutely stellar and playability is on point.
A fun package of factory extras is included, featuring the COA, a booklet of 1950s Fender factory documents and vintage ads, the bridge cover, and a zip drive loaded with high quality photos of the guitar, all in an aged leather drawstring pouch. The original tweed hard shell case is also included.
Nacho's guitars are made in very limited numbers and are hard to find, so don't miss out on this one! It's a simply fabulous instrument.
