Accurate Reproduction

As you can tell from a single glance, the single cutaway body of the Esquire was the foundation of what went on to become the Broadcaster/Nocaster, and eventually the Telecaster.

The body is carved from roasted pine – a tonewood renowned for delivering a punchy and complex tone, with the roasting treatment improving the guitar’s natural resonance.

This elegant design is coupled with a thick “U”-shaped maple neck, and a maple fingerboard which features a vintage-style 7.25″ radius.

Not to mention that single pickup configuration…

Single Pickup Design

With the original Esquire the pickup was actually re-purposed from a lap-steel guitar to bring out those bright, twangy tones that quickly became synonymous with Fender.

For this 70th Anniversary model, legendary Fender pickup designer Tim Shaw has recreated this excellent bridge-position pickup.

In addition to this, the guitar has been given master Volume and Tone controls, along with a 3-way switch that offers the following options:

  • Position 1 – Tone control off
  • Position 2 – Tone control on
  • Position 3 – Tone control off, pre-set treble roll-off

Limited Availability

As stated above, this excellent guitar is available for a limited time only – in other words, we recommend you place your order sooner rather later, to avoid missing out.
