FENDER BROADCASTER (MFG. 1950-51) Description
- single cutaway ash body, bolt-on maple neck, 21-fret maple fingerboard with black dot inlay, six-on-one-side tuners, fixed bridge with cover, black pickguard, two single coil pickups, two knobs (v, tone) and a three-way pickup switch mounted on a metal plate, chrome hardware, available in Trans. Butterscotch finish, approx. 300-500 mfg. late October 1950-February 1951.
This model's value should be determined on a piece-by-piece basis as opposed to the usual market. Prototypes and custom models existed before 1948. After Fender released the Broadcaster model, the Fred Gretsch company objected to the similarity of the name to their Broadkaster trademark used on Gretsch drums. Fender, the new kids on the block (at that time), complied with the request. In 1951, the Broadcaster name was changed to Telecaster.
