Fender's Custom Shop set out to build an exact replica of Danny's 1953 Telecaster that he had modified heavily for better playability. Introduced in January 1990, now you can have Danny's unique Tele too!

The Danny Gatton Telecaster is based on his heavily customized '50s Tele®. The cubic zirconium side markers will reflect light on any darkened stage. Other features include a swamp ash body, special shape maple neck, 22 frets, two Joe Barden® pickups and special Tele bridge and saddles.
