Nacho Guitars Telecaster '52 - 0068

Nacho Baños of Valencia, Spain, noted specialist in all things Fender from the inception through the first five years and beyond, has created a fine line of custom-built Spanish electric guitars that are nearly beyond description. Nacho’s attention to detail captures exactly the essence of what Leo Fender started over 70 years ago. The sound and style of a Nacho guitar is sheer genius.”—Billy F. Gibbons. Nacho Baños builds his unique collection of vintage Telecaster reproductions, and every guitar he makes is impressive in terms of the remarkably realistic aging he creates. To see a Nacho Telecaster is to behold the most artfully inspired vintage reproduction ever created. There is no finer in existence, and we doubt there will ever be.
