There were only 869 of these guitars produced. This one is from 1986, I believe. Some of the paint is chipped off, as you can see from the photos. I changed out the pickups for Rio Grands, but the original pickups will be included. I also replaced the 3-way toggle switch with a new G&L switch as the old one was not making good contact in the neck position. I purchased this guitar in December 2009. If you care about this kind of thing, Leo Fender signed the neck pocket on all of these, although I never removed the neck to verify this. It's a beautifully made guitar. $2200 + shipping. Thank you for looking.

| Steven, It is! It’s not ideal for my big hand, but I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t sell! Thank you for your comment! |

I had one just like this, and at the time I was going to sell it for much less than it was actually worth until
I discovered that Leo Fender signed the neck pocket on every guitar....I did take it off to see, and yes it was signed..
wish I'd taken a picture of it but that was kinda before cell phones with easy camara access. Oh and the reason there were
only a certain amount produced was that CBS Gretch sued G and L for using the name Broadcaster which Leo owned before he sold
the company..I believe the name Broadcaster changed to Stratocaster..but anyways

Hi George,
No, they changed the name to Telecaster! My first electric was a brand new red 1969 Fender Mustang. I then went to a Les Paul but ended up playing Teles for the last 25 years. Cheers!
