Joe Bonamassa is definitely no complete stranger to uncommon guitars. His Nerdville collection(s) are the outcome of a life’s work and include a few of the most in-demand electrical guitars, amps and results worldwide. His newest acquisition is a real one-off: a 1954 Blackguard Telecaster including a one-off pickup adjustment that he has actually called “a real unicorn.”
‘Blackguard’ is a term motivated by the black pickguards discovered on the earliest Telecaster and Tele-like builds from Fender (Nocasters, Broadcasters et al made in between 1950 and 1954) and, as such, represents a few of the most sought-after vintage designs out there.
