The Eternal "Regina" T-Type is our take on the elegant, double-bound Teles of the late '50s, blending vintage aesthetics with modern refinements for an instrument that feels as good as it looks.
Finished in a stunning, aged three-tone sunburst nitro, the lightweight ash body is bound on both the front and back, creating a sleek, timeless look. Paired with a slab rosewood fingerboard, a comfortable C-shaped neck, and a modernized 10” radius, Regina offers flawless playability while retaining its classic tone and style.
At its core, Regina features our hand-wound "Timeless '59" pickups, delivering warm lows, clear mids, and dynamic highs—a fuller, richer take on the late-'50s Tele sound.
Lightweight Ash Body with Elegant Binding
Crafted from solid, center-joined ash, Regina is resonant, lightweight, and tonally balanced.
- Aged three-tone sunburst nitro finish, allowing the wood to breathe for superior resonance
- Double binding on front and back, creating a striking late-'50s aesthetic
- Subtle lacquer checking and wear, providing an authentic vintage look
The result is a guitar that feels vintage yet refined, perfect for both stage and studio.
Upgraded Neck for Effortless Playability
The maple neck with a dark slab rosewood fingerboard is a dream to play, offering:
- Medium C-profile, comfortable for both chording and lead work
- Flatter 10” radius, allowing smoother bends and faster runs than a traditional '50s Tele
- Jescar 6000 jumbo frets, giving effortless note grip and sustain
- Rolled fingerboard edges, mimicking the broken-in feel of a well-loved vintage instrument
- Hand-cut bone nut, ensuring optimal sustain and tuning stability
This combination makes Regina one of the most player-friendly vintage-style T-Types available.
Timeless '59 Pickups – A Fuller, Warmer Late-'50s Tele Tone
