Nacho Banos, the patron saint of the Telecaster, compares a 1950 Broadcaster and a 1953 Telecaster backstage at a Brad Paisley concert in Zurich, Switzerland. He takes us fully down the rabbit hole comparing electronics, finish, screws, neck shape, and everything else you can think of.

To dive deeper on this subject, check out Nacho's amazing Pinecaster Book.

I keep grimacing thinking he's going to smack a headstock on that cinderblock wall! 😂 Fascinating stuff. Where'd I leave my checkbook?

In the end, the simplicity of the telecaster is what has drawn me to it. Thanks Zac.

Nacho will forget more about vintage Telecasters than most of us will ever know. He makes some beautiful Blackguard replicas, too! Thanks for a great episode!

Man, Zac, this is just awesome, and it couldn’t be more timely-I just ordered a 53 build from Nacho!

[ricksmith]

Unbelievably cool and informative. Nacho IS the Early Telecaster guru. Fantastic video!

[Jam-mm]

Great episode Zac. Thank you for your insight and dedication to the Fender Telecaster and YouTube community. You need a raise ❤

Shear Magic seeing these Two Vintage Telecaster guitars! and the extensive knowledge from Nacho!
Thank You for this Video!

WOW talk about a Master Class...thanks for all the trouble you went through to produce this. It's just plain weird that it takes a European to be the world's greatest expert on Leo Fender's work circa '49-'54

Couldn’t afford the guitar but I bought the book, it’s astonishing!

[jonathanhandsmusic]

Very interesting. Nice to see such vintage Telecasters with such a knowledgeable guy. Thanks

[JS-nfsn]

Nacho will end up selling more Telecasters than Leo in the end. Love it. Thank you for a great video.

A Telecaster lovers treasure trove!!! Thank you!!! 🙏

That was a very educational soundbite on pine casters, amazing how much changed between the two guitars. I recall you mentioned meeting him and filming this backstage. Was the neck on Nachos 53 a Birdseye maple neck? couldn't tell in the video, may have just been the finish. Great video thank you for sharing.

Great show thanks! Unfortunately the Pinecaster book site is under construction, but I hope that will be resolved soon. I ordered a Nacho Telecaster last year. Arriving this summer. Can not wait..

[davidhoover]

Don’t know how I missed this one!! Thank you so much for putting this together. Good stuff!

[joeldowdy]

Thanks guys!! Great Video and walk through from Nacho!!

[marks]

Thanks for letting us look at your guitars guys!! Zac - if you’re ever looking for subjects, I’d like to hear more about them he blend control that was mentioned.

I built a few teles from kits, i k ew i couldnt find a broadcaster if i found one so i made my own. Both are upgraded electronics. Love the difference in tone between the 2. Great video, very informative. Leo fender is the GOAT.
