Originally called the “Broadcaster” during its initial production run in ’50, it was renamed after a request from The Gretsch Company, which offered a drum set named “Broadkaster”. As a cost-saving measure Fender® simply cut the name off the headstock label with scissors, leaving just the famous Fender logo until late ‘51 when they received their new name, Telecaster®. The lack of model name led to these guitars being christened “Nocasters” by collectors — very few were produced and their sound and feel are legendary among players who know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: 2-Piece Select Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Nocaster \"U\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: 6105 Narrow Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: 1-Piece Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Micarta Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Twisted Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Twisted Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume, Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 1.
