Full Description

Britt Daniel

When it comes to precision-punk guitar, Britt Daniel is simply one of the best in the business. And it’s not without the distinctive, punchy sound of his iconic Thinline Telecaster. Fuelling a career of indie-rock stardom - it’s no wonder that Daniel has been at the forefront of Spoon’s 25+ year success. Providing catchy licks, experimental progressions, and (of course) his rhythmic feel to the indie scene, there’s no disputing the influence of Britt Daniel’s music. Which is why Fender have ensured his contribution can continue to inspire, with the release of his signature Thinline Tele.

Slashing single-coil tone

It’s no surprise that Daniel has always favoured his Tele above all. Where else can you find a tone of such distinctive punch, clarity, and percussive character? Otherwise known as the heart of indie guitar playing. But Fender have taken the Britt Daniel Thinline Telecaster to whole new level, equipping it with two first-rate Custom Shop single coil pickups. Because a signature-quality guitar demands world class components…

In the bridge position, a Custom Shop vintage-style single coil. Crafted to deliver the iconic snap of the original Tele, this pickup lets your sound slash through the mix whilst maintaining its distinctive Fender character. So you can be sure that every riff, lick, and chord will stand out in both performance and practice. But it’s the Texas Special neck pickup that gives this signature model it’s unique flair. Hand-wound and tailored for blistering hot output, this one-of-a-kind pickup provides the warm, prominent midrange that defines the indie-rock genre.

Topped off with volume and tone controls, along with the S-1 switch for even more tonal variety; this Thinline Tele bears no boundaries to its potential.

Stunning semi-hollow sound

Uncover a new dimension of Telecaster sound. The Britt Daniel Signature Thinline features a semi-hollow body design, with a stylish F-hole for even more elegant style. It’s this semi-hollow construction that has promoted the breathtaking combination of authentic resonance and electrifying tone for decades. Not only does this lightweight design provide effortless stage playability, but you’ll experience a sound of distinct character due to the nature of the Thinline’s unique acoustics. Classic sound, with an added depth. Only with the Thinline…

Electrifying feel

Any seasoned guitar player knows that, whilst sound is important, the feel of the guitar is what makes it special. So, naturally, Fender have made sure that every detail of the Britt Daniel Signature is fine-tuned for a remarkably unique performance.

Fitted with a one-piece maple neck, you can experience the classic, sleek feel of true heritage Fender – with a modern twist. The neck is sculpted into a “Deep C” shape and topped off with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, letting your palm glide across the neck’s entirety with maximum comfort. The ultra-smooth fretboard surface is fitted with medium-jumbo frets which, combined with a 9.5” fingerboard radius, is ideal for fast-playing and choke-free bending. So you can put your own spin on Daniel’s creative riffs, without restraint. The way it should be.

Ultimate instrument security

The Britt Daniel Thinline Tele also includes an elite molded case for enhanced instrument security. So, whether you’re travelling from venue to venue, or simply need a protective home for your beloved signature Tele – you can count on the Britt Daniel Thinline to be in pristine condition every time you pick it up. No unexpected scrapes or scuffs. Just gleaming Fender quality wherever you are.
