The Telecaster is used by musicians all over the world as their workhorse guitar, known for its powerful, punchy tones and ‘Tele twang’. It was first introduced in 1950 as the ‘Broadcaster’ 1950 then shortly after became the Telecaster in 1951, becoming a popular model, and has remained unchanged since then. The Tele is great for playing powerful-sounding chords and chunky rhythm parts and is popular across many genres.
