Nacho 50s Blackguard Butterscotch 2026

The Nacho Blackguard Butterscotch 50's captures the essence of the earliest Telecaster style instruments with remarkable attention to detail and feel. Built in 2023, this guitar reflects Nacho Banos' deep obsession with vintage accuracy, delivering a true old school playing experience in both sound and aesthetics.

The lightweight ash body is finished in a classic butterscotch blonde, showing the subtle ageing and character that make these instruments feel instantly familiar in the hands. Paired with a maple neck in traditional 50s style, it offers a fast, comfortable feel with that unmistakable spank and snap that defines the early Blackguard era. The single coil pickups are voiced to deliver raw, open and dynamic tones, from glassy cleans to gritty, responsive breakup when pushed.

Every detail reflects genuine early-50s Blackguard construction. The vintage-style pickups read 8,06k in the neck and 10,2k in the bridge, wired in the classic post-67 style: both pickups run in parallel in the middle position, with the tone control remaining active in every switch position.

This 2023 example remains in excellent condition and has been carefully kept. A modern tribute to one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever made, this Nacho Blackguard is built for players who want authentic vintage feel without compromise.

This instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
