"On this day in history..."

[anorakDan]

...August 15, 1951 Leo Fender was awarded the patent for what would become the Telecaster!

Why is this not a national holiday? Happy Telecaster Day everyone!

 

[mayfly]

YAY!  Happy Telecaster Day!

 

[Tipperman]

Telecasters? I love telecasters! Drinks all around!  ccasion14:

Happy telecaster day!

I'll have to celebrate tonight with a W tele and a Vox.

because it's a hideous design?

I must admit that up until approximately not long ago, I was not a fan of Teles.

A year ago, I couldn't spell "Telecaster Player". Now I are one!​

So, allow me to wish everyone a happy Telecaster day, and encourage y'all to get one of your own.

 

[Cagey]

because it's a hideous design?

It really is, in most cases. But, bite the bullet and get one. You'll be pleasantly surprised. It's kinda like turning to that somewhat chubby chick you'd never give a second glance to and finding out she's very enthusiastic about sex and drugs and rock and roll.

Happy Tele day! Love mine like no other. :icon_biggrin:

 

[mayfly]

because it's a hideous design?

Yes.  It's a HIDEOUS design.  You don't want one. EVER. 

I sound like someone from Oregon telling someone from California what the weather is like: "oh - you won't like it. It rains ALL the time.  And the BUGS!!  You're really best off in East LA... don't even come for a visit"

:evil4: :evil4: :evil4:

Happy Telecaster Day!

Happy Telecaster Day!

Now that's a fine looking thing!

Telecasters are the Beatles of guitars.  :icon_jokercolor:

Why is this not a national holiday?

Because...  when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away

I had trouble finding an exact date, so I'll use the original announced shipping date:

May 15, 1954

Aug 15 is a holiday here in Bavaria, maybe that is the reason  :dontknow:

 

[Updown]

Someone say it was Tele day ......  ccasion14:

I wasn't a Tele fan either, until I build this little beauty.  :icon_biggrin:

It should be a goddamn day of mourning with flags around the world at half-mast for that atrocity... certainly not a celebration.

You should relax more.
