The Korena take

The right-handed 1960 Telecaster Custom Heavy Relic brings a heavily distressed nitrocellulose-lacquer finish to an alder-bodied Tele platform. Its quartersawn maple neck has a large C profile and a 3A rosewood fingerboard with 21 narrow-tall frets. Two Custom Shop handwound ’58 single-coil Tele pickups feed a three-position blade switch, with master volume and tone controls. The strings-through-body, three-saddle bridge uses compensated brass barrel saddles.
