The Korena take
Finished in Surf Green, this American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster is a right-handed solid-body electric with an alder body, maple neck, and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Pure Vintage ’63 single-coil pickups at the bridge and neck are selected by a three-way blade switch, then shaped with master volume and tone controls. Its fixed Pure Vintage three-saddle Tele bridge uses threaded steel barrel saddles. A chrome bridge cover and a vintage-style brown case with orange interior are included.
