Sale : Nachocaster #0085 Whiteguard, build in July 2018 by Nacho Banos, Mint.
Nacho is considered one of the foremost experts on Blackguard Teles in the world and his'The Blackguard Book' is considered the bible of these creations of Leo Fender's creations.
In terms of playing and sound, the instrument is incredibly close to an original Nocaster. The detail of aging is simply splendid and gorgeous. She has vintage Broadcaster style pickups, a perfectly fitted and aged baseball U neck. She looks alive; she is resonant and deep unamped. Every single detail is meticulously copied from the originals. Pickups are designed specifically for one instrument. Nacho makes the bridges himself and has the pots manufactured according to Fender's original specifications. His guitars are 10x nitro-lacquered as in the 50s style. This is what makes each Nachocaster truly unique. Nacho manufactures very few instruments each year.
