Built for effortless tone and dynamic response, "Apollonia" features a lightweight Korina body, a smooth-playing soft V maple neck, and a rich, dark rosewood fingerboard with vintage-correct clay dot markers.
At its heart, a coil-splittable "PAF Replica" humbucker in the neck and a hot-wound "Timeless '68 Special" bridge single-coil give this T-Type incredible tonal range—from warm, bluesy neck tones to the snappy, cutting twang that made early Telecasters legendary.
