Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an ash body with a flame maple laminated top, this Richie Kotzen Telecaster pairs a DiMarzio Twang King at the neck with a Chopper T at the bridge. A three-position blade switch selects bridge, both pickups, or neck; the rotary series/parallel switch expands the wiring options. The large-C satin maple neck, 12-inch-radius maple fingerboard, and 22 jumbo frets create the guitar’s playing layout, while its gold hardware gives the instrument a unified look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want Telecaster-style controls plus a rotary series/parallel pickup-switching option.
- Players looking for a maple-neck, 22-jumbo-fret signature Telecaster configuration.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
