Full Description

Sparkling seventies sound

Featuring a hand-wound '70s single coil and a Tim Shaw humbucker neck pickup, this '70s Tele has a wide range of tonal qualities that allow you to shape your sound as per their requirements. Its bridge pickup produces a classic Telecaster twang that's perfect for blues, rock, and country genres. It produces bright and twangy tones that cuts through any mix, making it ideal for rhythm playing and leads. The neck, on the other hand, produces rounded and warm harmonics with a slightly higher output that's perfect for jazz, funk, and soul genres. The three-way toggle switch allows you to choose between the pickups or use both of them together for a more dynamic sound.

The guitar's volume and tone controls for each pickup provide you with the flexibility to shape your sound further. The tone dial helps to cut through unwanted frequencies while adding warmth to your voicing, while the volume control allows you to adjust the output level of each pickup based on your preference. Customise your tone to your liking.
