Nacho 1950s Blackguard Aged (2024)

This Nacho “Early 50s Blackguard” will once again leave you salivating!!! One of the best authentic aging we have seen so far. You really think you have a real old one in your hands. Nacho Baños, the author of the reference work on Blackguards from the 50s, is now a household name not only for insiders when it comes to these guitars, and guarantees the very best guitar making skills in the reproduction of genuine old Strats and Teles. And quite honestly, you first have to find a genuine old Tele that is as good as his replicas. Ideal weight of 3340 grams, which optimizes the interplay of resonance and playing characteristics, whereby the latter are also extremely positively influenced by the excellent vintage feel of the neck. Swinging at its very best, you'll have fun even when playing it dry. The neck has an “Early to Mid 1950s Style Medium C” profile, which is super comfortable to play - suitable for all hand sizes. A 9.5“ fingerboard radius and ”Medium 95/47" frets also ensure the best playing comfort. An “Early 50s Standard Style” bridge and “Compensated Brass Saddles” are also used. With incredible attention to detail Nacho creates his own replicas with a sound and feel that you don't get in modern mass production. Every detail of the original guitars is meticulously recreated here, even going so far as to provide the body, neck and the tape of the electronics compartment with conclusive original data from the 1950s. The "Vintage Early 1950s Blackguard Style" pickups deliver the characteristic, wonderful sound associated with a Tele from the early 1950s. The bridge is beautifully direct, wiry, fat with a great attack, always round and never too sharp. In the intermediate position it's nice and bell-like and great for clean and distorted sounds. Simply pure Blues on the neck! A fat, differentiated, bell-like Tele sound that is convincing across the board, both clean and distorted. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer you this absolute masterpiece of guitar making, the essence of the Blackguard myth, in mint condition with all the case candies.
