DESCRIPTION
For your consideration a 2019 Nacho ’51-’52 Black Guard in an aged blond finish. Ignacio Banos has had a life long passion for country music and Americana in general! He first started collecting Fender guitars while studying in Boston in the late 80s. With the advent of the internet he quickly became well known on forums for his immense Telecaster knowledge. This led him to write The Blackguard Book. An all encompassing book about early 50s Teles. He started building guitars in 2010 based on his personal guitar collection. His small team of craftsmen puts out about 15 to 20 guitars quarterly. Everyone from Billy Gibbons to Julian Lage have been leaving their black guards at home and opting instead to hit the road with these fantastic Nacho Casters!

Specs! This guitar is all original and in mint condition. It comes with its original case and all its paper work. Nickel Vintage style tuners. Bone nut with a 1-11/16″ width. One piece maple neck with a depth of .94″ at the first fret and .99″ at the twelfth fret, awesome big vintage feel. Maple fingerboard with a 9.5″ radius. It has a 25.5″ scale length. Action is set at 5/64″ on the bass side and 4/64″ on the treble side. The original 21 medium frets are in excellent condition. Ash body finished in their Aged Blonde lacquer (nitrocellulose), factory relic. Early 50’s style pick ups (Neck 6.72K, Bridge 7.87K). Three brass saddle vintage style bridge. Black bakelite pick guard (aged). Weighs 6 pounds and 12 ounces.

What a fantastic instrument! As close as your going to get to a black guard for under 5 figures! This guitar has quickly become a shop favorite. When you grab the neck of the guitar you get the feeling of being with a life long friend. Awesome vintage big neck feel. The weight is great for long sets/sessions. Classic T model tone from these custom Nacho single coil pick ups. Neck is warm and dark yet still defined. The bridge is bright and twangy. All the aging was done flawlessly. We were taken back by this amazing guitar! Everything about it just feels right!
