Magneton Telenovela Past–Modern
This is a classic Tele, with classic feel and modern enhancements for a twentieth century player. Lindy Fralin's superb pickup creations make this guitar sound exactly like you'd expect a good Tele to sound - but all with the comfort of incredible good playability! Finally it's sort of a time traveller that started it's journey in '51 and arrived well developed in '22, having picked up all essential technical innovations that immerged in the past 71 years – such as locking tuners, a well intonated bridge, stainless steel frets, a brass saddle for sonic enhancement and a roasted and lightweight one piece swamp ash body with comfort carve.
