Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Based on Ted McCarty’s 1957 Theodore drawings, this Vintage Cherry Standard pairs a mahogany double-cutaway body with the model’s scimitar headstock. Its contoured edges, double Florentine cutaways, and 22-fret layout give access across the fingerboard, while the SlimTaper mahogany neck carries an Indian rosewood board. The ’57 Classic neck humbucker and hotter ’57 Classic Plus bridge humbucker can be selected alone or together through the three-way switch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blues, jazz, or rock parts using separate neck, bridge, and combined humbucker settings.
- Lead work that uses access across all 22 frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require more than two pickups; the guitar uses a two-humbucker configuration.
