A 60s-flavored Tele, optimized for the modern era
Direct descendant of the icon launched in the early 1950s and refined over the decades, this American Professional Classic combines the character of historic Teles with today?s demands. The Coastline ?63 pickups evoke the palette of early 60s models, while the modern ergonomics and finishes ensure exemplary reliability on tour and in the studio.
Intended Use and Target Players
Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists, it excels in rock, country, blues, indie, and pop. The "Modern C" neck profile promotes endurance in both rhythm and lead playing, and the SS configuration allows switching from sharp riffs to warm choruses without losing definition, whether on stage or at home.
Sound
The bridge pickup delivers a snappy attack, tight mids, and bright highs for precise twang and riffs that cut through the mix. The neck pickup adds smoothness, rounded lows, and expressive dynamics for softer lines. The simple and responsive wiring (volume + tone) ensures immediate response to right-hand nuances, while the alder body combined with the vintage brass-saddled bridge favors the sustain, clarity, and projection typical of an authentic Telecaster.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the character of this Tele, opt for nickel-plated steel strings in 10-46 gauge (or 9-42 if you prefer lighter tension). An electric guitar capo suited to a 9.5" / 241 mm radius will guarantee optimal intonation. Complete with a sturdy strap and standard-compatible straplocks to secure the instrument during concerts. The Deluxe gig bag is included, but a hard Telecaster-style case can be considered for intensive travel.
