The Custom Shop have some great models this year and I was lucky enough to grab this from Peach.
https://www.peachguitars.com/fender-custom-shop-2020-limited-70th-anniversary-broadcaster-nocaster-blonde.htmI’m not sure how many they will make, but the 60th anniversary models were rare as hen’s teeth and appreciated in value quite a bit.
They’ve nailed the details mainly with the maple plug, no routing etc. It’s nerdy stuff, but I love that level of detail. It’s only arrived today so will getting plugged in through my tone king imperial at volume in the studio tomorrow

I won't bore you all with the differences between a vintage Broadcaster and these (yep I've played enough to know), but they are a whole lot more than just a Nocaster/Telecaster with a decal change. Why or why have FCS persisted with the now ridiculously long serial number. Why not give these a more traditional 4 digit number?
That aside, they will be great guitars I'm sure
Heavy for you....

If I’m being picky, the string ferrules are too straight on mine, that’s about all I could find
I never knew that. Presumably they drilled through from the top then just inserted the ferrules wherever the holes ended up!
I made a string-through body myself once, but I drilled the bigger holes on the back for the ferrules before drilling from the top, just in case they went a bit astray.
