Frequently Asked Questions
It adds a rounder, warmer low-end and more sustain, especially in the neck position, while retaining the Tele’s characteristic bite and twang.
Primarily cosmetic, but the thinner finish does allow the wood to resonate more freely, potentially adding a touch of extra airiness to the tone.
The compound radius offers a comfortable transition from a rounder feel at the nut to a flatter feel higher up the neck, making bending and complex chords easier.
