Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 61 Telecaster Heavy Relic keeps its electronics focused: Custom Shop hand-wound '63 single-coil Tele pickups, a three-position blade switch, and master volume and tone controls. Select the neck or bridge pickup independently, or bring both together. The guitar is built with a roasted alder body, quartersawn maple neck, 3A rosewood fingerboard, and a brass-saddle strings-through-body three-saddle bridge. Its Heavy Relic treatment supplies the played-in visual character, with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Switching quickly among neck, bridge, and combined Tele pickup voices during a set.
- Storing or transporting the guitar in the included deluxe hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a tremolo bridge; this model has a three-saddle strings-through-body Tele bridge.
