NachoGuitar Blackguard Tele by Nacho Banos, Brand New!

This is a Blackguard Tele by Nacho Banos (author of the definitive book on Blackguard Teles: “The Blackguard”), Brand New (2021).

The last time I ordered these (2016), they sold out in less than a week. The Nacho Guitar Blackguards are the best reissue Teles out there – Fender can’t touch this quality, nor the historical accuracy. Don’t wait on this one!

The wood used for the body is the same Golden (Southern) swamp ash as used in the original Blackguard Teles. As Nacho Banos states: “A local lumber warehouse supplier had a stock of LOUISIANA SWAMP ASH, hand selected for low density to make musical instruments. Its the best wood I have ever found….I believe this new batch is simply put, our best ever!”
