Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Late-’70s Tele Custom layout is the point here: a CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucker at the neck joins a Pure Vintage ’77 Tele single-coil at the bridge. The neck position supplies a broader, warmer voice, while the bridge retains clear, focused attack. An upper-bout three-way toggle selects the pickup settings, and separate volume and tone controls let you shape each pickup independently. It pairs an alder body with a 1977 C-profile maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and period-style hardware.

Who this is for

  • Using bridge, combined, and neck pickup settings from the upper-bout three-way toggle.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere
