Pre-Owned Limited Edition American Vintage '52 Telecaster Korina - Blackguard Blonde with Hardshell Case

The Limited Edition American Vintage '52 Telecaster Korina: A Classic Reimagined in Rare Tonewood

Premium Korina Body Delivers Classic Tele Twang with Exotic Flair

Crafted from a wood revered for its vintage tone and rarity, the korina body of this '52 Telecaster lends a distinct sonic richness and visual elegance to the Blackguard Blonde finish. Korina, a West African hardwood, is known for its resonant, balanced tonal character, giving this Telecaster a touch of the extraordinary while staying true to the roots of its iconic design.

Authentic Vintage Feel with Period-Correct Detailing

This Telecaster features a flash coat lacquer-finished maple neck carved into a large vintage-style “U” profile, paired with a 7.25" radius maple fingerboard with black dot inlays and rolled edges for broken-in comfort. The vintage vibe continues with a 1-ply black Bakelite pickguard and a 4-bolt "Limited Edition" neck plate, subtle touches that underscore its collector status and historical accuracy.

Vintage-Voiced Pickups for Timeless Tele Tone

Under the hood, the guitar sports a set of American Vintage '52 single-coil pickups, voiced to exact period-correct specs. The bridge pickup brings the unmistakable twang and bite, while the neck pickup offers that warm, round clarity every Tele lover craves. A 3-way blade switch and traditional volume and tone controls keep the layout familiar and responsive.

Built for the Player and the Collector Alike

Vintage-style hardware includes a string-through-body Telecaster bridge with three brass saddles, dome control knobs, and vintage tuners, ensuring reliability and tonal authenticity. With light surface wear, a bit of buckle rash, and some small dings on the back of the neck at 4th, 8th and 9th frets as well as on the bottom near the input jack, this 2015 example is in great shape and ready to inspire. All cosmetic damage is in the listing photos.

Complete with Original Accessories
