A real 60s vintage correct tele
Except for the poly finish, and more obviously, the MIM serial on the back of the headstock, Vintera 2 is a vintage correct Tele. It looks and feels exactly like 1961 or 1962 model. I bought a sonic blue one, and man, it does look amazing.
It did need some setup - out of the box it was not that great. The neck PU was sunk into the scratch plate, and the guitar kept going out of tune.
So it required a full professional setup. The luthier had the nut replaced with the real bone, and the frets needed some polishing. Still, the truss rod needed no attention.
The neck is a bit chunky, but not too much, it's nearly perfect for me.
Like the 1961, it has a slab board of rosewood.
Overall, the guitar is on the lighter side, weighing roughly 3.4 kilos. In general, I don't like the way new guitars feel, but I have no issues with this one, so I play it more than my old, beat-up Les Paul now.
