1950 FENDER BROADCASTER (Serial# 0022)

A little too steep for my budget!

Do you people realize that sn#s on early Fenders dont medan squat. they just pulled them out of the parts bin in no particular order. :!:

1) It was offered in June
2) Normans deals in the real McCoy - that guitar is a real 1950s tele

It sounds the exact same as my 2008 Baja. 8)

I know, but when it comes to early Fender "collector" pieces those low numbers have a lot of appeal. Just look at Gilmour's #0001 Strat!

Well... the quarter of a million dollars sounds reasonable for an early Broadcaster, but that $62 for shipping is outrageous!

I think I'll pass on that deal!

Really??? For a quarter-mil I'd have to store it in a bank vault, or hire rent-a-cops to guard it day and night. That's not a daily player -- it's an investment!!

Norman's is only a couple miles from me. If you want I can pick it up for you and save you the shipping. :D
