I have only seen pictures of a Nocaster and it looks the same as a Tele. Can anyone tell me the difference? Thanks 8)

No difference other than the lack of "TELECASTER" on the headstock.

Nocaster is a pet name, Fender decided to name those particular models of tele's as the
" Broadcaster "...
Problem was that the name Broadcaster was used for a drum kit by Gretsch even though the spelling was different the resulting court judgment was that it was too close and Fender's name infringed on an already established marque.
So a few Tele's had to be stripped of their name's and were sold nameless or as Nocaster's.
They are sought after today, if only by a fateful mistake, their value is high...

Agreed with what 53magnatone said. It's basically a Broadcoaster without actually having the name Broadcaster on the headstock.

The Nocaster has a much fatter neck profile also.
