2023 Nachoguitars Whiteguard GuitarPoint Specs P90
Blond #0143

Art.Nr. NG23TELEBLD-0143

Here it is…the first run of guitars we ordered from our good friend Nacho Baños. Built to our very own specs. We had many Black- and White Guard Telecasters over the last decades and always admired Nacho’s work – he probably is the world most respected expert for those magical 50s Fender guitars, well known for his books “The Blackguard Book” and the recent “The Pinecaster Book”.
With an amazing attention to detail he also creates his own versions, replicas of the original design with and tone and feel that you can’t get in modern mass production. We’re glad to have our own little run of guitars we spec’d together with Nacho – the essence of the Blackguard myth at a way more affordable price but with a lot of the mojo of the originals!
This model, serial umber 0143 is based on a Broadcaster but we wanted a white guard, to make it looks like one of the earlier “Whiteguards” from 1955 – still with the more yellower finish. We added a smokin’ P90 in the neck position – which makes WAY more sense than the typical humbucker mod since it’s a lot more balanced with a wider dynamic range without the compression of a humbucker!
