The Eternal "Evelyn" CAR '63 T-Type is a stunning recreation of one of the most iconic early-'60s Telecasters, finished in a beautifully aged Candy Apple Red nitro, with a lightweight alder body and a dark rosewood veneer fingerboard.
This model is all about effortless playability and dynamic, open-sounding tone—featuring a medium C-profile neck with rounded fingerboard edges, jumbo frets for smooth bends, and our hand-wound "Timeless '63" pickups, delivering bright, chimey highs, warm mids, and clear, punchy lows.
With premium hardware upgrades, vintage-correct materials, and expert craftsmanship, Evelyn is a true tribute to the golden era of T-Types, perfect for players who demand both classic aesthetics and modern playability.
Lightweight Alder Body – Vintage-Accurate & Resonant
The two-piece, center-joined alder body was chosen for its lightweight feel and resonant tonal character.
- Aged Candy Apple Red nitrocellulose lacquer for an authentic vintage aesthetic
- Thin nitro finish allows the wood to breathe, enhancing sustain and resonance
- Subtle wear marks, lacquer checking, and edge rolling, giving it a naturally broken-in look and feel
Silky-Smooth C-Shape Neck with Rounded Edges
The maple neck, topped with a rosewood veneer fingerboard, is designed for maximum comfort and effortless playability:
- Medium C-profile, perfect for all playing styles
- Expertly rolled fingerboard edges, enhancing the worn-in, played-for-decades feel
- 7.25” radius, providing a true vintage-style playing experience
- Jescar FW58118 jumbo frets, ensuring easy bending and smooth articulation
- Hand-cut bone nut, optimizing resonance and sustain
The result? A neck that feels incredibly natural, with a perfect balance of vintage authenticity and modern ease of play.
