The Britt Daniel Telecaster is a Thinline Tele with the stalwart Spoon guitarist/front man’s preferred tweaks. Enjoy a nice balance of acoustic resonance and solidbody sustain, thanks to this Tele’s semi-hollow body. This already stellar tone is then enhanced by a pair of hand-wound single-coil pickups. Benefit from standard 3-way switching that’s augmented with an S-1 switch for added tonal textures. You’ll love the feel of the Britt Daniel Thinline Tele's comfortable Deep C-shaped neck and easy-playing 9.5"-radius fingerboard. You also get a 6-saddle string-through-body bridge for epic sustain. If you’re a fan of Spoon, or simply want an upscale Thinline Tele, the Fender Britt Daniel Telecaster Thinline is a great guitar that’s built to inspire.





Semi-hollow construction





If you crave a balance of acoustic resonance and solidbody sustain, then the Britt Daniel Thinline Telecaster is the guitar for you. Its semi-hollowbody design imparts air and acoustic harmonics to your tone, while its solid toneblock ensures that each note comes through loud and clear. The reduced weight is absolutely delightful too, particularly for marathon gigs and long sessions in the studio. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate what the Britt Daniel Thinline Tele brings to our playing, and we’re confident that you will too.

Hand-wound single-coil pickups dish out classic Tele tones





You're sure to cut through the mix, thanks to the Britt Daniel Thinline Tele's hand-wound single-coil pickups. The Broadcaster bridge pickup exhibits the tight low end and clear, balanced midrange you'd expect from a vintage '50s Tele, and it twangs like it’s nobody’s business. The Texas Special neck pickup features an overwound design for extra output, while its nickel-silver cover produces a clear, warm tone that only a true Tele pickup can do. As if that's not enough Tele tone to make anyone happy, the Britt Daniel Thinline Telecaster augments this guitar’s standard 3-way switching with an S-1 switch. Series wiring makes this Tele sound fat, like a humbucking pickup, while the S-1 switch places the pickups in series or parallel for even more tonal options.





Custom Shop-influenced neck





If you like a neck that fills your hand, then you’ll dig the Fender Britt Daniel Thinline Telecaster. Its Deep "C" neck profile boasts substantial shoulders measuring somewhere between a Modern "C" and a U-shaped profile. All that mass and an altered geometry work together to feel more natural, providing speed and comfort whether you’re strumming a chord or picking individual notes. On top of that, you’ll appreciate the lightning-fast feel of the Britt Daniel Thinline Tele, thanks to its maple 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets.
