Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. One of the coolest western themed guitars we've seen. Plays like a dream and sounds awesome with a pair of Lollar pickups: a wide-range humbucker in the neck position and a killer single-coil in the bridge position. Another fantastic guitar from our friends at Tone Ranger. See below for more details and specifications.
FROM TONE RANGER:
The stars are out tonight! A product of the Post-War Boom, the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar—the Broadcaster—was released in 1950 and with it, Leo Fender changed the music industry forever. After seven decades, the “T-style” design remains a golden arrow in guitarists’ quiver to this day. With features uncommon with T-style guitars, such as a set-neck and a 24.75” scale length, the Tone Ranger Guitars “Desert Star” model is my take on the classic. From searing solos as hot as Death Valley in July, to warm rhythms as mellow as an evening under the saguaro, the Desert Star puts legendary tone in your hands.
FROM LOLLAR:
Inspired by the early 1950s Fender Broadcaster pickups, the Lollar Special T Series® is our most popular Tele® pickup—and for good reason! Punchy and powerful, it offers focused midrange with a small bump in compression and a smooth top end. A versatile pickup suitable for a wide variety of playing styles, the Special T is a great fit for players who find most Tele pickups to be too bright, or those looking for a slightly hotter and darker tone while still evoking the best of the Fullerton-era Fender sound.
Our Regal™ humbucker captures the original tone and wide frequency range of the ’72 Tele® Deluxe pickups—but with some noted improvements.
