2021 Nacho Banos Blackguard Tele, Finest Reissue, New!

For Sale: 2021 Nacho Banos Blackguard Tele. This is the 2nd and last one I have for sale. This is the best reissue electric out there – the closest thing to an early 50s Fender Blackguard Tele!

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!”
