Nacho 2023 Blackguard Telecaster Early 50s Style Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

Here we have another early 50s style Nacho Blackguard for you - this one is from 2023 - another winner!  Nacho Guitars builds meticulous early 50s Telecaster replicas that are head and shoulders above everyday relic guitars from the mainstream builders you see everywhere. The attention to detail is amazing, and with it comes the feel of a vintage guitar.  The weight is also impressive at just 6 pounds, 13 ounces.  The soft V neck is sublime.  

Nacho's guitars give the characteristic Blackguard sound: tight, percussive low end, glassy highs, and plenty of upper-midrange bark — particularly from the bridge pickup, which reads a healthy 9.74k. The neck pickup reads 7.99k. The guitar is a  25.5" scale, 9.5" radius fretboard, 1-5/8" nut, and large soft V neck profile — .90" at the first fret, 1.01" at the twelfth — are faithful to early 50s Telecaster specs. Action is set at 2/32" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret. Overall condition is excellent throughout.

The guitar had a different set of pickups in it when it arrived here.  The originals were in the case, so I re-installed them. The only change to the guitar are the 5 solder points where the pickup leads hit the volume pot and the switch.  The frets look like they've barely been played. The guitar comes with its original Nacho Guitars case in excellent condition, as well as a full compliment of Nacho case candy and documentation.
