The Danny Gatton Signature Telecaster is a replica of Gatton's own heavily modified '53 Telecaster. Its very curly maple neck boasts a big custom '50s-style U-shape with cubic zirconium side position markers (for improved visibility under stage lights). The lightweight ash body provides plenty of Tele-trademark snap and spank, with a pair of Fender-designed dual blade pickups feeding into a custom tone circuit. The bridge is also a custom design, crafted from stainless steel with compensated brass saddles. Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuning machines and Danny’s signature on the headstock round out the features. This guitar is mint and is 100% original except for the addition of a Callaham bakelite pickguard. The original pickguard will also be included along with the original premium tweed case, Fender Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity, and all the case candy (still sealed in the plastic bag). This guitar weighs just 7.3 pounds and reeks of tone. It resonates with remarkable sustain (even unplugged) and just plays effortlessly. The set up is perfect and the intonation is spot on all the way up the neck.
