      I've owned my '60 burst for years. You'd be surprised at the tele tones that can be gotten from a burst. Black guards are great; I prefer my burst and my '60 bound sunburst Custom Telecaster. But it's all good. Good players can get their desired tones through most any rig that they choose to use. That being said....I dig this Broadcaster. However, I think my favorite year for black guards are the '53s. But thats just me. Cheers.

    Note: Gretsch advised Fender via telegram that they were probably infringing on the Broadkaster trademark. Fender (Don Randall, that is) chose not to make waves and the name was changed to Telecaster soon after. But there was no lawsuit.
