What are the name origins of Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster... guitars? What do they mean?Stratocaster, Telecaster,... name meanings?
Hello, Ivan! Not sure about how the man dreamed up the names, but Don Randall was the person responsible for both Stratocaster and Telecaster (see http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/2009-鈥?/a> for a recent article). I suppose you could imagine that Stratocaster was thought of as "casting" musical nirvana into the "stratosphere", and perhaps Telecaster came from a contraction of "television" and "broadcast" (the Broadcaster was the first name applied to the Telecaster instrument, having to be changed for legal reasons); just some random thoughts! Best regards, Dana
