Gotta do some work on it, though. It needs a new switch. It cuts out some when I switch it to the pick up at the neck.

HA, I made a funny!Actually, from what I read, the first Telecaster came out the same time as the Fender Esquire and it was called the Broadcaster. But another company that made Drums, also of the same name, Broadcaster, threatened Fender with a lawsuit if they didn't change the name. A couple years later Fender changed it to Telecaster.
Ha, that's funny. I was trying to make a joke, I had no clue.
Actually lawsuits between co's over crap like that is common. The stupidest one I ever heard of was the "pro wrestling" formerly WWF now WWE (I hate pro wrestling, but that is a different subject), but to be fair, I thought it was stupid that the courts sided with "The World Wildlife Fund" or "WWF". Yea sure, they share the same initials, but so the fuck what? Nobody is going to seek either out and confuse one for the other. How many "AAA" businesses that sell a variety of different things are in every damned city?
But on the other hand, I also didn't understand the $1 dollar award to the long since defunct USFL, after the jury agreed that the NFL bullied them out of business. How the fuck can you agree with the USFL then do that?
