įender's operations expanded to include a line of lap steel guitars, and several of the features of those instruments would be borrowed for a new electric solid-bodied guitar. Tone had never, until then, been the primary reason for a guitarist to go electric, but in 1943, when Fender and his partner, Clayton Orr "Doc" Kauffman, built a crude wooden guitar as a pickup test rig, local country players started asking to borrow it for gigs. Players had been "wiring up" their instruments in search of greater volume and projection since the late 1920s, and electric semi-acoustics (such as the Gibson ES-150) had long been widely available. įender had an electronics repair shop called Fender's Radio Service where he first repaired, then designed, amplifiers and electromagnetic pickups for musicians - chiefly players of electric semi-acoustic guitars, electric Hawaiian lap steel guitars, and mandolins. Leo Fender's Telecaster was the design that made bolt-on neck, solid body guitars viable in the marketplace. In the period roughly between 19, several craftsmen and companies experimented with solid-body electric guitars, but none had made a significant impact on the market. The Fender Telecaster was developed by Leo Fender in Fullerton, California, in 1950. However, the essential character of the design has remained constant. There have been minor changes to the design over the years and models with features that differ from the archetypical design. The Telecaster's scale length is 25.5 inches (64.8 cm). Many different colors have been available. (Many newer models have six saddles.) The output jack is mounted on the edge of the lower bout of the guitar. Fixed bridges are almost universal, and the original design has three individually adjustable dual-string saddles whose height and intonation can be set independently. Most Telecasters have two single-coil pickups, a pickup selector switch, a single volume control and a single tone control. The Telecaster's body is front- routed for electronics the bridge pickup is mounted in a metal plate attached to the guitar's bridge, other pickups are mounted in a plastic pickguard, and the controls are mounted in a metal plate on the lower bout of the guitar. rosewood, and has at least twenty-one frets. The neck is usually made from maple and attached to the body with screws (though characteristically referred to as a " bolt-on neck") and has a distinctive small headstock with six tuning pegs mounted inline along a single side the fingerboard may be maple or another wood, e.g. The archetypical Fender Telecaster is a solid-body electric guitar with a flat asymmetric single-cutaway body the body is usually made from alder or swamp ash.
Several variant models have been produced over the years including those with different pickup configurations and electronics, semi-hollow body designs, and even a twelve string model. The base model has always been available, and other than a change to the pickup selector switch configuration, a thinning of the neck, and a few variations on the bridge design, it has remained mostly unchanged from the 1950s. Like the three-pickup Stratocaster which followed it in 1954, the Telecaster is a versatile guitar and has been used in many genres, including country, reggae, rock, pop, folk, soul, blues, jazz, punk, metal, alternative, indie rock, and R&B. The Telecaster quickly became a popular model, and has remained in continuous production since its first incarnation. Initially, the Broadcaster name was simply cut off of the labels placed on the guitars (leading to a limited run of nameless guitars known as "No-casters") and later in 1951, the final name of Telecaster was applied to the guitar to take advantage of the advent of television. A trademark conflict with a rival manufacturer Gretsch Broadkaster led to the guitar being renamed in 1951.
Introduced for national distribution as the Broadcaster in the autumn of 1950 as a two-pickup version of its sister model, the single-pickup Esquire, the pair were the first guitars of their kind manufactured on a substantial scale. Its simple yet effective design and revolutionary sound broke ground and set trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Together with its sister model the Esquire, it was the world's first mass-produced, commercially successful solid-body electric guitar. The Fender Telecaster, colloquially known as the Tele / ˈ t ɛ l i/, is an electric guitar produced by Fender. Sonic blue, red, surf green, yellow, wine red.
