The late 1950s and early 1960s saw some notable changes in the Tele from tonewood choice to pickup material to saddle material. These changes made this Tele play nicer with louder, distorted amps.

The result is a guitar that pairs incredibly well with overdrive. Where ash and maple can get ice-picky in high-volume\/gain situations, alder and rosewood get the job done without that top-end harshness.

This is a very rigid and stable cut of maple which means fewer adjustments. The neck on this guitar is carved to a 60s Style Oval C that measures in at .790\" at the 1st fret and .930\" at the 12th fret.

These pickups have become the stuff of Legend with their added heat. Simply by rolling off the volume and tone, you'll experience the added benefits of the hand-wound pickups. They sweeten up incredibly well. Warming up without losing clarity is a tricky thing but these Handwound Texas Specials nail it. A master volume, master tone, and three-way pickup selector switch cover all the electronics. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWell, *phew, that about covers it!
