Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Dakota Red, this Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster uses an alder body with a one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard. Its vintage-style late-'50s Tele single-coils offer a bright, cutting bridge character and a warmer, rounder neck option. A three-position blade switch, master volume and master tone make those changes direct at rehearsal or onstage. The neck has the substantial Late '50s V profile, and the vintage-style bridge uses three steel barrel saddles. It is a right-handed, six-string Telecaster supplied with a Deluxe gig bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players switching between a bright bridge voice and a warmer neck setting during songs.
- Working setups that favor uncomplicated three-way pickup selection and master volume and tone controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require more than two pickups or five-way-style switching.
- Players who prefer a neck profile other than the Late '50s V shape.
