I guess I gotta have one. But it's 1950-1954. White guards came in '55.

I haven't bought a vintage guitar book in years but I guess I better grab one of these.


Better hurry, there's only 4,215 left...

Dave, some 54's had White Guards and some 55's had flat pole PU's.


Yeah, there was some leakage in late '54 and early '55, but '54 was mostly black guards, 55 was mostly white guards, and '56 was well into the white guard non-butterscotch blonde with raised-pole pickups era. I still have my beat up '55. My point was that the title of the book is 1950-1954. Actually, 1950 is Broadcaster and much of 1951 is not titled (we call 'em Nocasters now, as I'm sure you know).
