Description

Britt Daniel’s slashing precision-punk guitar style has helped fuel Spoon’s 20+ year career–from Austin clubs to stages around the world. Stunning in a custom Amarillo Gold lacquer finish, the Fender Britt Daniel Tele Thinline guitar’s lightweight semi-hollow ash body resonates sweetly while sacrificing none of the Telecaster’s signature steely clarity—thanks to its Fender Custom Shop pickups and an S-1™ switch that allows you to change instantly between series and parallel pickup wiring. The one-piece “Deep C” maple neck shape fits comfortably in the hand and the 9.5”-radius fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets allow for fast playing and choke-free bending. Other features include Fender ClassicGear™ tuning machines, electrosocket output jack and Elite molded hardshell case.

NEW FINISH
The custom Amarillo Gold lacquer is distinctive, rich and adds visual “pop.”

SEMI-HOLLOW BODY

CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS
The Custom Shop Hand-Wound vintage-style, single-coil bridge pickup and Texas Special neck pickup were handpicked by Britt Daniel for their classic sound.

SERIES/PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Activated by the S-1 switch, the series/parallel circuit offers a wide variety of tones.

“DEEP C” NECK
Slightly wider at the shoulders, the one-piece maple “Deep C”-shaped neck is perfect for any style of playing.

ABOUT FENDER
In 1950, Fender introduced the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster. Following its success, Fender created the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass). In 1954, Fender unveiled the Stratocaster (“Strat”) guitar. With the Telecaster and Precision Bass on the market for some time, Leo Fender was able to incorporate input from working musicians into the Stratocaster’s design. The Strat’s comfortable contoured edges and in-built vibrato system led to its soaring popularity. shop.fender.com
