    I love how they try to do damage control on the mystery hole like it could've come from the factory that way, lest the value be decreased, like some yokel with a long drill bit didn't put it there for some unknown reason. Gorgeous guitar in any case. Thanks for sharing.

      Agreed. To think that a guitar left the factory with a hole in the side like this is absurd. And there are an awful lot of people who can drill holes at an angle, and a whole lot of people who own drill presses and milling machines.

    @jrm2fla 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Tyler Mehal played beautifully… the passages leading into those major 7th chords are so sweet, the volume swells, the management of clean versus breakup tone… masterful! That angle hole was obviously for weight relief and improved tone….

    This is what was commonly referred to as a "toot hole", pioneered by Joe Walsh. You'd run a clear tube in there with some refreshment powder in the cavity and take yourself a little toot while pretending to fiddle with your amp mid set.

    The best explanation of the Telecaster genre of guitars I've ever heard is this...two sticks of wood bolted together with some metal bits screwed to them. Oh, and that's a tone hole.:)

    That is definitely a tone adjustment hole. A cinch for any home DIY player looking to enhance high end notes at little cost.
    Some people also apply shielding paint with a long fine brush.
    Rock on.

    The Fender Broadcasters/Nocasters are the crown jewel for any collection not only because of their history and rarity, but also their unique sound. Something about them is just so hard to replicate. I was lucky enough to be able to hold and examine one for roughly 30 seconds at an event years ago. They sound and look amazing in person. I know I'll never have one, but I've had 30 seconds very few other people will be able to relate to.

    as an ex advertising guy im guessing it was to mount the guitar on some sorta space age looking floating display. given the provenance and that the dude drove around the west showing off and selling the new fangled fenders, thats my guess.
    so it would’ve looked like it was floating in front of some sort of display .

    • @Old-Skull.
      @Old-Skull. 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That doesn't make sense, you don't make that amount of work just to screw a hook, if you want the guitar floating the best way to do it is with a hook, screwed like the strap buttons, one because it's not something so destructive as it was that hole , second because the only way you could use that hole to support that guitar is by placing the guitar upside down , it doesn't make sense and third because nobody destroys a pefect playing finished instrument for marketing purposes, to integrate a the guitar in a display they could have used a non working guitar with fake pick ups and all .
      If you listened the guy and you know something about working with wood you know that all what he says is truth, it's a very complicated hole to do it straight , now imagine in angle , the objective of that hole was to reach that cavity, I have no doubt of that and the first thing that comes to my mind is to attach a microphone like Les Paul did , maybe it was a custom order in which the buyer wanted the option to place a microphone but never was installed .

    Great sounding guitar - reminds me of the time I was visiting some folks in the mountains of Colorado, yes in South Park, and there was a Native man there with a cheap beat-up case with a guitar he wanted me to look at. I was not in the mood to do a restring on a cheap old guitar but after dinner I opened the case and 'AHHHHhh' - there was Broadcaster serial number 0223! Without going into the whole story of trying to buy and/or sell it - I was too poor to have even tried at the time and wary of angering a Navaho Medicine man - u yet it was an awesome adventure driving it out to LA and seeing what Norm might give for it!
    but i digress -
    You know about the small holes that are used to hold Fender bodies in the milling machines and then plugged? It is one way to ID a real vintage Fender body; look up the exact placement measurements and look for the trace of a hole under the finish, right?
    It would be interesting to look at some other 'no-casters' and see if they have a plugged hole in that spot, maybe, maybe not.

    Leo fender was an inventor and tinker almost more than anything else. Could have been anything. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have plugged the hole with a dowel and finished it right over. I'm also hesitant to discredit the competence of someone living in that area back then and their woodworking skill. Pine is very soft, and with a punch and a small pilot hole that could have been done easily by an amateur even. Unfortunately, the younger people are, the more incredulous they seem to be that someone without advanced technology and resources could do anything with any kind of skill or precision. There are amazing examples of wooden instruments from hundreds of years ago that can't be replicated today. But its simply a skill issue. Until you have had a lifetime of self reliance and patience to perfect a craft, it may seem mysterious. But personally, I think there's too much hipster and not enough common sense in the analysis of something that in the end, don't amount to a fart in a windstorm. Perhaps just say, well, I don't know why its there, rather than throw some shade at someone or try to assign some significance or added value to a hole in a guitar. All that aside, a beautiful example and a piece of American history, thanks for sharing it with us!

      It feels like it is gearing up to making this hole some sort of miracle factory mod, rather than a random pointless hole drilled into a guitar. "It's a factory hole". Maybe, but it is also a useless, ugly, irreversible modification. Finish in the hole could point to a high quality, period correct refinish.

They also go way back and Joe gets the first look at anything in his wheelhouse there, too. Sure that has some relevance.

    The hole. I have no inside information, but similar to an idea of my own. To install a piezo pickup into the body of a guitar. There could be many reasons why they opted not to in the end. Perhaps they could not shield it well enough or it caused feedback or it just wasn't the sound they wanted. So they already drilled to holes in "X" number of bodies?

    • @ES-qm5hr
      @ES-qm5hr 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My assumption is the same. I think it was just a blank with a hole drilled in it before shaping. I don't think it had any real purpose, they just probably had it lying around, and then made into a Nocaster. They weren't too fussy with the parts. I have vintage Fenders that were made from old parts lying around. For instance, I have a 1972 Stratocaster which is was made with an earlier body which was half shot in sunburst (they never fully finished the sunburst process) then had a black finish over top. It is made from parts that date from 1970 to 1972, and should have been a three bolt neck by that time, but it is a 4 bolt. My guess is someone wanted a custom color black guitar, so they throw together parts they had to make one.

    You missed what could be the coolest thing about this guitar- the neck pick up blend switch.

    Unbelievable' No one can figure out what the purpose of that hole is? What if someone was to inform you that their grandfather worked for fender when that hole was drilled' what would it be worth to you to know that information.

      Did he chat about holes with his grand children regularly? Sounds like you might have loads of valuable information or is it just this?
      Thought so.

      Mostly talked about his time working for fender and digging ginseng as a kid' encounters running into wild animals' bears/Mt lions/ Bob cats etc.
      Always told one story about running into a big foot but most people knew he was just stirring up drama/ joking.
      As far as holes' other than the guitar, he said to never wipe that one with a razor blade.

    Dude, you look so much like FooFighters Taylor Hawkins, you could play an evil prank on Grohl 😈 😂

    It's the original 1951 factory cornhole. Leo Fender was so ahead of his time that 73 years later you still can't say what the hole is for.

    Please keep this out of John5 hands. There was less than 500 produced, and he owns more than any other person.
