Lawsuit Guitars! This G&L Broadcaster was Leo Fender’s first take on the Telecaster design under his new company, G&L. Introduced it in 1985, and only 869 (this is 721) were produced before a cease-and-desist from Gretsch Musical Instruments led to the name change to ASAT, which remains in production today. This particular Broadcaster has seen plenty of action, showing extensive player wear that gives it a well-loved, broken-in feel. It’s not a collector’s case queen — it’s a true player’s dream, offering incredible tone and playability.
Featured two Leo Fender-designed single-coil pickups for a powerful, dynamic tone. • Three-way selector switch with volume and tone controls for versatile sound shaping. • Hardtail bridge with G&L’s Saddle-Lock design for enhanced sustain and tuning stability. • Black hardware for a sleek, cohesive and modern look. • Painted headstock matching the black body for a custom, bold aesthetic. • Maple neck with a 7.5” radius maple fretboard for a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel. This is a rare chance to own an early G&L Broadcaster — an instrument built for serious players who want a piece of Leo Fender history with unmatched feel and tone.
