From its roots in the Broadcaster and later the Esquire, the Telecaster became the first solid body electric guitar to catch on with musicians. With its simple slab-body design, the Telecaster proved easy and inexpensive to produce for Fender. From its introduction in 1951 as a two-pickup model with maple neck and ash body, the Telecaster has never been out of production, making it the Grand Daddy of all solid-body electric guitars.
