FENDER NO CASTER (MFG. 1951) Description
- similar to the Broadcaster (Mfg. 1950-51), except only has the Fender logo on the headstock (no model name logo), mfg. early 1951.
In the transition period between the Broadcaster and Telecaster model names, Fender continued producing guitars. Leo Fender, never one to throw money away, simply clipped the Broadcaster name off of the labels already in stock. Therefore, the guitars produced between the Broadcaster and Telecaster name changeover have been nicknamed the "No" caster by collectors due to lack of model name after the Fender logo on the headstock.
