Fender Leo Fender Commemorative Broadcaster 22di50 1999 - (COD 2126UG)

The Fender Leo Fender Commemorative Broadcaster from 1999 is a very special instrument created to celebrate Leo Fender and the historic moment when it all began: the birth of the Broadcaster, the first mass-produced solid body electric guitar that would forever change the world of music. This commemorative edition, built by the Fender Custom Shop, was produced in an extremely limited run of only 50 pieces, making it both a remarkable instrument and a highly collectible piece of Fender history. Visually it faithfully recalls the earliest Broadcaster models of the early 1950s, featuring the classic Butterscotch Blonde finish over an ash body and the iconic single-ply black pickguard that immediately defines the identity of this legendary design. The beautifully figured maple neck with maple fingerboard has a warm and lively appearance, while its profile and construction evoke the feel of the very first Fender instruments, delivering a solid and natural playing experience. The traditional Broadcaster-style single coil pickup set produces a tone that is direct, dynamic and extremely expressive. The bridge pickup delivers the unmistakable bright attack that made this model famous, while the neck pickup offers a fuller and rounder voice that works beautifully for blues, country and vintage-inspired rock tones. The overall sound remains clear and articulate even when played aggressively, with a response that follows the player’s touch with remarkable sensitivity. The Leo Fender Commemorative Broadcaster is far more than a historical reissue. It is a tribute to one of the most important inventions in modern music history, combining historical authenticity, collectible rarity and the pure sound that defined generations of guitar players.
