Who still remembers the summer NAMM? It’s not that long ago that Fender Tele Thinline the Britt Daniel had presented a Signature for the Spoon frontman. The thing has only one catch, which makes even a fan recoil: the price.
Fender Britt Daniel Tele Thinline
The latest signature model from Fender goes to Britt Daniel. And the Telecaster Thinline looks really good. The Spoon frontman is the type ” one guitar per gig ” (sympathetic), which also means that he can do a lot with the model here and the Tele brings a degree of flexibility .
Although the paint looks a bit like Butterscotch Blonde in the wrong light, it is painted in Amarillo Gold . There is also a Deep-C maple neck with 9.5 “ maple fingerboard and 22 frets . At the Headstock Fender uses the ClassicGear tuners in vintage look with 18: 1 ratio.
At the bridge there is a CS Hand-Wound vintage style PU, at the neck a CS Hand-Wound Texas Special. Everything should be possible with what one expects from a telephoto. They can also be driven serially or in parallel via the S-1 switch .
Nothing super unusual, but not commonplace on a telephoto. Continue !
The price
1999.99 USD is to cost the Fender Britt Daniel Telecaster Thinline. I talked to a really iron Spoon fan and he almost fell over the top in terms of price. The Tele is certainly not commonplace, but even as a signature, he finds them at least $ 500 too expensive .
Not everyone can stick their own mirrors to the Telecaster and offer them for sale for $ 25,000 . “But it should be a bit more individuality,” says the fan. That’s right. And it’s not true. Preferences are different and if that’s the way he wants them: Why not?
After all, Slash has not signed yet. His signature should be twice the value of this Telecaster .
What do you all mean?
