Incoming Nachocaster! (Patreon)

As I’m sure most of you know, Ignacio “Nacho Banos makes some of the finest telecasters available and his knowledge on the subject is unrivalled. He’s released a couple of truly fantastic, limited edition books on the subject too. Julian Lage of course is a very well known user of his guitars, and rates it above his original 53’ tele!

Normally one of these guitars would be well out of reach for me financially but Nacho got in touch back in Spring and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. He’s a truly lovely, generous man and blew me away with the kind things he said.

He got in touch again a month back to finalise my desired specifications, (neck profile and dimensions, pickups, aging and even a custom serial number stamped into the bridge.. (my date of birth). Last night he dropped me an email with the above pictures and the news that it would ship to me in the next week! Eeeek!.. I’m so flipping excited to get my hands on this! Truly a dream guitar for me! 🙌🏻😍

Here are a few words from the man himself that make me even more excited to receive this instrument;

“Early 50s Blackguard Nachoguitar Serial 5485

Soft Round V neck 0.89”

Dear Alex, this guitar is ready and now going through the photo sessions.

We have mounted it with 60s pickups following your suggestion.

Im attaching a sneak preview. This is the lightest piece of swamp ash I have found in a long time. Only the best for you,

I hope you like what you see.

Best
