Description
Fender Custom Shop's Danny Gatton Signature Telecaster is a formidable guitar with no expense spared in its intricate, yet straightforward design. A mix of classic & modern specs, the guitar is based on Gatton's highly customized '50s Telecaster. It features a solid swamp ash body with Frost Gold finish & a specially shaped maple neck with a beefy custom '50s "U" profile. Some nice additions include Cubic Zirconia side dots, a custom tone circuit & Danny Gatton headstock signature, making it a unique-looking yet familiar-playing Telecaster. It sounds exceptional as well thanks to two Fender Custom Designed Bill Lawrence pickups, for a sound that's as versatile as Gatton's wide-ranging catalog. If you're after a Telecaster with loads of vintage '50s vibe & versatile tone, then go with this fantastic signature model.
