History of the Fender Broadcaster guitar and pickups.:
1950 the Fender Broadcaster was introduced as the first production Spanish style solid body electric guitar designed and introduced to the public by Leo Fender. The bridge pickup of the Broadcaster was essentially the same 43awg Plain Enamel wound pickup found in Fender Steel guitars but with addition and Tinned Steel plate attached to the bottom the bridge pickup to allow easy up and down adjustment of the pickup as well as a ground point for the guitar. The addition of the Steel bridge pickup baseplate also changed the inductance profile of the bridge pickup fattening the tone. Fender's practice of only partially wax potting the bridge pickup also allowed acoustic vibrations from the Telecaster style bridge plate to acoustically transmit to bridge pickup elevator baseplate that was now mechanically coupled to the bridge. The result is a lively and acoustically responsive bridge pickup.
Not long after Fender introduced the Broadcaster they received a cease and desist letter from the Grestch. It turned out that the Gretsch drum company, already owned the rights to the name "Broadkaster" for their drum set. In order to avoid a legal dispute Fender removed the name Broadcaster from the headstock of the guitar. This led to a brief period where Fender guitars were produced without a name on the headstock. These guitars have since become iconic as "Nocaster" guitars, named Nocaster for the lack of a name on the headstock. This short lived Nocaster guitar was soon given the name Telecaster which went on to become the most widely associated name with the original Fender Broadcaster shape and design concept.
