Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Transparent Crimson, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster uses the mahogany-body version of the model, paired with a maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Two Pure Vintage ’63 single-coils provide the bright, twangy, crisp, and articulate voice associated with this guitar, with the three-way blade offering bridge, neck, or combined pickup choices. The C-shaped neck carries a 7.25-inch radius and 21 vintage-tall frets, while the three-saddle bridge and gloss nitro finish retain the period-focused design. A brown vintage-style case with orange interior is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
