The History of the Telecaster

The dawn of a legacy. The rich history of Fender began with the Telecaster. Introduced as the world’s first successful solid-body electric guitar, the Telecaster was perfected after two years of development, and debuted in the February of 1951. It was there where the Fender Telecaster commenced its unstoppable journey to becoming one of the most iconic guitars of all time. Ingeniously engineered with the ability to excel in any genre, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse functionality. It is perhaps a fitting testimony to its essential originality that the Telecaster design has hardly changed ever since. Why alter perfection?
