Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hotshot Telecaster brings three hand-wound single-coils to a right-handed Telecaster format: a Crushed '50/'51 Blackguard bridge pickup, RWRP Ancho Poblano Strat middle pickup, and Tomatillo Tele neck pickup. The 5-position blade switch works with master volume and master tone for quick pickup changes. Its relic-treated, aged Nocaster Blonde build combines a 2-piece select ash body, one-piece quartersawn maple neck and fingerboard, narrow-tall frets, and a 3-saddle '51 Nocaster bridge with brass saddles.
