I'm very excited to think that the Fender is is 60! I've own a number of Teles and have loved them all. I currently play an Andy Summers Tele inspired guitar I made from parts.

Happy Birthday, Tele!

I thought 52 was the first year of the Tele. Wasn't 51 the year of the NoCaster?

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

1951 shares (in chronological order) Broadaster, Nocaster, and Telecaster.

"By February 1951, the Broadcaster was renamed the Telecaster (though the guitars didn't actually have a "Telecaster" decal on them until the summer of 1951), because of a naming conflict with a trademarked Gretsch drum line."from: http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender.html
