Nacho Banos Early ’50s Blackguard-Style Telecaster
Serial #: 0491 on bridge plate
Built: 2020 – Mint condition, unplayed, collector-owned
Widely regarded as the most faithful recreations of early Telecasters available today, Nacho Banos’ guitars are built in Spain with unmatched attention to vintage detail. This example is in pristine, unplayed condition, stored by a collector since new.
This one’s a real treat—impeccably playable, lightweight, and perfectly balanced. It features period-correct, vintage-style pickups with a stunningly rich middle position. While the wiring can be easily reversed for traditional parallel tones, the original series wiring delivers a remarkably full and glorious sound.
