Fender Telecaster
The Telecaster needs no introduction — the world's first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, introduced in 1950, has been a constant in popular music ever since. What's documented here is the less-traveled end of the Telecaster catalog: unusual configurations, rare variants, and specific instruments from the collection. Among them is the Telecaster Thinline, Roger Rossmeisl's semi-hollow redesign of the Telecaster body — a thread that connects directly to the Montego and the broader Rossmeisl story documented elsewhere on this site.
