Developed by Leo Fender and launched in 1950, the Broadcaster was soon changed to Telecaster to avoid confusion with the name of a drum model produced by Gretsch. It has remained a staple of the Fender line for nearly 60 years. Originally meant for country musicians, the Telecaster was released as the Broadcaster in 1950. When first sold in stores, it retailed for less than $200. It was built based on the concept of 1800s German instruments of Johann Georg Stauffer. The Telecaster is one of the most versatile and enduring guitars around.
