Description

Based on player requests for Telecaster tones from specific eras and backed up by meticulous research, the Blackguard Tele Series is a collection of four classic Tele sets ranging from the original ‘blackguard’ Teles of 1950 through to later 1968 models.

Scatter-wound by hand with 43AWG plain enamel wire on both bridge and neck, this is pure Broadcaster heaven. The hottest of the four sets with a thicker zinc plated steel baseplate, flat profile magnets and authentic vintage ‘flat top’ deep-drawn brass cover; the Flat 50s have a simply massive sound. Chunky bottom-end and snarling mids create a throaty tone with excellent natural sustain that can really push a tube amp hard.

Applications: Blues, Country, Jazz, Funk, Indie, Pop, Britpop, Classic Rock.

Suitability: The Flat ’50 set is well suited to maple boards or any application that requires extra output and a fatter tone.
