Nocaster?

From Sweetwater Sound
Quote:
This is the second version of the Fender Broadcaster, the forerunner of the Telecaster. Shortly after Fender introduced the Broadcaster in 1950, Gretsch sued over the name, as they’d already registered the “Broadkaster” name for a line of drums. So for a brief period in 1951 until the legal case was resolved, Fender released the Broadcaster with no model name. The guitars made during this period became known as “Nocaster” guitars. Later, in 1951, Fender changed the name to “Telecaster,” as the guitar model has been known ever since.
