This is a really cool idea we has to make a few guitars based on one of the early prototypes of what eventually became the Broadcaster, then ultimately the Esquire and Telecaster!!!
Josh at Protocaster does an amazing job building, restoring and refinishing vintage and vintage guitars, as well as relicing and aging newer ones to look like they have naturally aged.
He really did a great job on these, they play really well, Josh hand carves the neck to feel great in your hand like an old guitar feels!!!! The finish on the body and neck is 100% non catalyzed nitrocellolose laquer and is aged to perfection by Josh.
Comes with an aged, lacquered Protocaster tweed thermometer style case.
As with all guitars purchased from MCG, this one comes with a full set up to the buyers specs!!!!
