Description

The Fender Custom Shop Danny Gatton Signature Telecaster recreates Gatton's heavily modified vintage 50s Tele with swamp ash body, maple neck, and dual custom Joe Barden pickups modeled on his original guitar's specs. The Barden pickups deliver bright, twangy, biting, and crystal-clear tone with warm snappiness and full humbucking without true humbucker harshness, noiseless and handling everything from twangy country to smooth jazz to gritty blues. A fat custom 50s U-shaped neck with 9.5-inch radius and vintage frets enables big pedal-steel bends and chords alike.

The Fender Telecaster is an iconic solid-body electric guitar delivering bright, cutting tone with twangy character. Its single-cutaway design and dual pickups make it versatile for blues, country, and rock. The Telecaster remains one of the most influential guitar designs ever.
