Seymour Duncan SWD Custom Shop Joe Bonamassa Signature 1950 Broadcaster Set

  

These are made to the same spec's by the Custom Shop. In the history of electric guitars, few are as iconic as the Fender Broadcaster®. As few as 250 of these instruments are believed to have been built from the fall of 1950 to the spring of 1951, before Fender transitioned the model to what we all know as the Telecaster® at the end of 1951. To say Broadcasters® are incredibly rare is an understatement, and to find one in pristine condition is an even greater challenge. Lucky for all of us, our friend and vintage guitar authority Joe Bonamassa had a very special one in his collection with a tone so remarkable that he wanted to share it with the world.

Carefully testing and documenting the original guitar's pickups, the Seymour Duncan team was able to faithfully recreate the sound and look of Joe's coveted 1950 Fender Broadcaster®. The Joe Bonamassa 1950 Broadcaster® pickups are a faithful replica of the set found in this guitar. Authentic to Leo Fender's original design, these pickups evoke the early days of blues, rock & roll, and country. Built in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, this set features Alnico 2 magnets in the neck, Alnico 4 magnets in the bridge, and cloth push-back cable.

Seymour Duncan's pickups are in no way authorized, sponsored by, or affiliated with Fender or Gretsch.
