The 1950 Fender Broadcaster represents one of the earliest and most historically significant versions of Fender’s solidbody electric guitar. This example features a solid swamp ash body with a one-piece maple neck, finished in a Blonde refin, with a comfortable C-shaped profile and a compound 7.25"–12" fingerboard radius.

The original pots, switch, and tone capacitor remain, while the wiring, jack, and treble-bleed cap are non-original and both pickups have been rewound. Additional work includes a refret, replacement nut and tuners, enlarged tuner holes with extra screw holes, a non-original shim, and a replacement string-retainer screw. Overall, it remains in good condition and includes a thermometer-style case.
