Fender 75th Telecaster Anniversary Book

A Collector’s Illustrated History of the Telecaster

The Fender 75th Telecaster Anniversary Book is an official hardcover volume celebrating 75 years of one of the most important electric guitars ever made. Written by guitar historian Dave Hunter, it traces the Telecaster from Leo Fender’s original 1951 design in Fullerton, California through more than seven decades of musical use and cultural impact.

Across 224 pages, the book features 300 full-colour photographs, including rare Fender archive material, vintage advertisements, studio imagery and performance shots. Featured players include Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen and Joe Strummer, making it a strong read for Telecaster fans and broader guitar history enthusiasts.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Telecaster anniversary book is a great choice for Fender fans, guitar collectors and players who want a detailed visual history of the world’s first solidbody electric guitar.
