  • Description: This is where it all began: in 1951, Leo Fender® released the Telecaster®, the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar. Renamed from "Broadcaster" that was introduced in 1950, it's has a simple, yet enormously useful design�borne out of Leo's experience with electrifying Hawaiian steel guitars�that has been embraced over the years by guitarists from a wide range musical genres, and copied by guitar builders all over the globe. Just like the original, this 60th Anniversary Telecaster® has the features that set the template for solidbody electric guitar design: a single solid plank of ash that provides the basis for the storied twangy sound, a revolutionary one-piece bolt-on maple neck�until the Tele®, bolt-on necks had only been used on banjos, the classic string-thru-body bridge, and dual single-coil pickups with the treble pickup mounted on the bridge plate�a coupling that helps characterize the Tele® sound. From crisp signature sparkle at the bridge to warmth and fullness at the neck, the 60th Anniversary Telecaster® gets its rich depth, definition and dynamics from dual American Vintage Telecaster® single-coil pickups.
