Tele copy Info

[TommyJ]

I recently bought a Alvarez ClassicII Tele copy,
I cant seem to find out much info on it.
It is made in Korea has a birdseye maple neck and what
appears to be a chromeplated brass bridge.
Thank You, TommyJ.

Frank Thompson and I have both owned three-pickup Alvarez tele copies. Well, copy. It was the same guitar.

Decent enough, but ultimately didn't do it for me, or, I'm guessing, Frank, since he sold it to me.

Thanks Kap'n,
The 1 I have is just the standard tele.

yea, we had the 3 pup nashville version.
huge neck.
maybe would have been better w/ a vint bridge, but not too bad all-n-all

I tried mounting a vintage bridge, but it (the guitar) turned out to be modeled after the Am Series, and didn't retrofit.

I didn't think the neck was that big, but my perspective might be skewed. I like the Gibson 50's neck, and the neck on my new Baja tele is the most natural one I've ever felt.

When did you get your Baja, Kap'n? I couldn't find any posts about it, so you'll have to update us on your impressions. That or maybe I just missed it and you could direct me! Either way, Congrats on a very nice guitar!
