FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

The Broadcaster was available with a maple fingerboard and these are less common than the Broadcaster with ebony fingerboards. Even less common are the handful of Broadcasters that were fitted with an optional Kahler tailpiece. Two famous Broadcaster players are Carl Perkins and Ray Flacke.
