Launched in 1950 as the “Broadcaster,” it wasn’t until a year later when Leo Fender dubbed his first-ever electric guitar design the “Telecaster” that it got its official name, and the model’s remained largely unchanged since. With its slab body, bolt-on neck design, and quintessential six-in-line headstock shape, the Telecaster has become an iconic go-to workhouse for amateur and professional guitar players, alike.
