Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a two-piece ash Tele body, this Custom Shop model combines a hand-wound '51 Nocaster bridge single-coil with a Wide Range CuNiFe humbucker at the neck. The three-way blade and dual-stack Tele wiring move from the bridge pickup’s glassy bite to the neck pickup’s thicker, vocal character. A quartersawn maple neck carries a '60s oval C profile, 9.5-inch radius, 21 narrow-tall frets, and a contoured heel for access higher on the fingerboard. The sunburst Journeyman Relic lacquer arrives with an intentionally aged appearance.
