telocaster 

Pronounced: "Tel-O-Caster", A solid body electric guitar that looks like a cross between a Telecaster guitar and a Stratocaster guitar. It usually features the body of a Stratocaster and the Neck of a Telecaster guitar, the pickups configuration can be any combination of single coils, p-90's, ASAT MFD, Humbuckers, Teisco Foil Pickups, you name it. Not an official model from any particular brand, however Telecaster & Stratocaster are brand model names that belong to Fender Musical Corp. The Tel-o-caster guitar is usually just made of miscellaneous left over guitar parts and can often times be found in the rural south at many pawn shops. Note that it's been said that you can't play the blues unless you've got a guitar that's spent a few nights in a pawn shop a time or two.

Telecaster 

a misunderstood guitar in my opinion that was created by Leo Fender. It the first completely solidbody electric guitar ever mass produced but was origionally known as the Broadcaster, it has two single coil pickups, a volume and a tone knob, and a steel plate bridge. I say it's misunderstood because since the Telecaster has such a twangy sound it is commonly used by dance indy combos such as Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkey's which is fine, but what ever happened to the rocking Tele? I speak of Graham Coxon's fine work in Blur, or Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead (best band ever), or indeed Matt Bellamy of Muse? Please musicians hear my call, bring back the rocking Tele!
The Telecaster was used by Graham Coxon, Thom Yorke, Johhny Greenwood, Matt Bellamy, The Eagles, The Clash etc.
