The Fender Telecaster started out in 1943 as a pickup testing bench so that Leo Fender could test pickups he was manufacturing for the acoustic guitars of day.
Country music was popular at the time and Leo Fender's customers would ask to borrow the test bench proto-Telecaster because they liked its unique bright clear sound. What would soon become the Fender Telecaster, or Tele, was the first American solid body electric guitar.
The Telecaster had a one-piece body bolted to a one-piece maple neck and came with a single coil pickup slanted in the bridge position and another single coil pickup in the neck position.
The bridge pickup has more windings than the neck pickup hence producing much higher output, which compensates for a lower amplitude of vibration of the strings at bridge position.
A slanted bridge pickup enhances the guitar's treble tone.
A semi-hollow thinline version called the Thinline appeared in 1968/69, designed by German guitar maker Roger Rossmeisl.
The Triple Deluxe tele is Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie guitarist John5 s signature model.
