This it what happens. We then end up doing detective work lol. Supposedly all Broadcaster had truss rods 200 made until name was changed to NoCaster. I read this but again a lot of what's online you have to take with a pinch of salt. You know what they say we never stop learning.

Hey Doc think Andy means have a crack at a pine scratch body ? Have you ever used a router ?
A mate of mine has a Telecaster with a metallic blue body, I played it and really liked the twangy tone I heard, that's what inspired my interest in building a Telecaster from a kit, like the Stratocaster, the Fender Telecaster is great for lots of musical genres, not just Country and Western.

Keef agreesAttachment 12655
Hey Doc may not be suitable to use a router in a group of flats, they aren't the most quiet power tool. But if a mate has a workshop by all means have a crack !

Just watched a youtube video about the 51 Fender NoCaster, as turns out, the reason why Fender changed the name of the Broadcaster from Broadcaster to NoCaster, and then finally to Telecaster, was because Gretch sued Fender because of a copyright violation of the name "Broadcaster", Gretch had been manufacturing and selling a drum kit called the Broadcaster at the time Fender released the Broadcaster guitar.

Apparently Territory Housing have rules about Tenants doing any kind of work in the flats, and yeah there are rules about excessive noise, Territory Housing are going to be implementing some new rules based on a red card system, a tenant can earn up to 6 or more demerit points in a year for breaking the rules, and if they do, they face eviction, but if they don't earn 6 or more during the year the demerit points are wiped from the tenant's record the following year.Quote:

The Australian guitarist, Tommy Emanuel, plays Telecasters too, or is well known for playing them.
