  • Description: The Fender® American Vintage '52 Telecaster® is one of the most iconic guitars in Fender®'s history. The black, single-ply pick-guard and butterscotch finish has truly became an icon. Fender® originally launched this guitar as the Broadcaster, prior to being changed to the "Telecaster®." Production began in 1949 and was one of the first "mass produced" solid-body electric guitars ever built. In the early 1950s, Gretsch also had a drum-set out of the same name. As history follows, Gretsch mailed a polite letter to Leo Fender® and asked him to change the name. Thus, the Telecaster® was born. Series: American Vintage Body Shape: Telecaster?
