Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A two-piece select ash body and one-piece quartersawn maple neck give this 55 Telecaster its core construction. Custom Shop hand-wound '55/'56 Tele single-coils feed a three-position blade switch, with master volume and tone controls for straightforward adjustment. The maple neck has a 1950s-style soft V profile, narrow-tall frets, and a vintage-style heel-adjust truss rod. A three-saddle, brass-saddle strings-through-body bridge stays with the traditional Tele layout, and a deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Working between neck, bridge, and combined pickup choices with a direct three-position control layout.
- Transporting the guitar in the included deluxe hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer a rosewood fingerboard; this model has a one-piece quartersawn maple fingerboard.
- Players who require a tremolo bridge; this model uses a strings-through-body Tele bridge.
