Perfected after two years of development—and a name change or two—the Telecaster debuted in February 1951 and began its steady ascent toward stage and studio indispensability. Ingeniously engineered and heard loud and clear, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse utilitarian function. It is perhaps fitting testimony to its essential original rightness that the Telecaster has hardly changed ever since.
