And as I am sure you know the first models were called Broadcasters and Nocasters and then changed name to the Telecaster and Esquire (depending on pickup configuration)<\/p>\n<p>When Dan opened the case all I could see was a red telecaster model in a newer case. I really didn\u00b4t think much of it in those few seconds until Dan started to reveil this amazing story.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea that this very guitar was one very first prototypes and furthermore that they were made in custom colours, as Dan explains. So I was very surpriced to know that I was looking at a very important piece of guitar history.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will enjoy the YouTube-vid and pics.
