Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Custom Shop hand-wound '63 Tele single-coils, this right-handed 61 Telecaster offers neck, bridge, and combined pickup selections from a three-position blade switch. Master volume and tone controls keep the layout direct. Its roasted alder body, quartersawn maple neck, 3A rosewood fingerboard, and strings-through-body three-saddle bridge form the central build. Heavy Relic treatment gives it a worn-in appearance, and it arrives with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between neck, bridge, and combined pickup settings during a rehearsal or set.
- Transporting the guitar with its included deluxe hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need more than two single-coil pickups; this guitar has an SS configuration.
