Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Black, the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom pairs an alder single-cutaway body with a maple fingerboard and a ’77 C-shaped hard rock maple neck. Its two-pickup arrangement places a Wide-Range humbucker at the neck and a Pure Vintage ’77 Tele single-coil at the bridge. The upper-bout three-way toggle works alongside two volume and two tone controls on the elongated pickguard. Other 1977-focused details include vintage-tall frets, a 7.25-inch radius, F-stamped tuners, and a six-saddle Tele bridge with slotted steel barrel saddles.
Strong match
Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
