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.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving from clear bridge-pickup rhythm work to fuller neck-pickup chords or lead lines.
- Players who want separate volume and tone adjustment for the neck and bridge pickups.
- Using bridge, combined, and neck pickup settings from the upper-bout three-way toggle.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a single-pickup Telecaster layout.
- Left-handed players; this model is right handed.
