The sound and feel makes you feel like you're playing an original instrument from the 50's as if it's straight from the factory. The baseball bat neck and flat pole piece pickup really have that versatile vibe that we know and love through the ages. Plus, the folks at the store are the best! Shoba at store pickup is super friendly!

Are you a music enthusiast seeking a stylish and reliable instrument? Look no further than the Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Esquire Electric Guitar, a testament to Fender's legacy of producing high-quality, durable, and versatile musical instruments. This guitar is a modern-day reincarnation of the very first solid-body electric guitar offered by Fender in 1950, the Esquire.
This iconic instrument boasts an elegant single-cutaway silhouette, reminiscent of the original design, and an adjustable 3-saddle bridge. It features a lone, repurposed lap-steel pickup in the bridge position, a design choice that laid the groundwork for all solid-body electric guitars that followed, and foreshadowed its more famous sibling, the Telecaster.
What sets the 70th Anniversary Esquire apart is its unique 2-color sunburst finish, a feature not commonly found in other guitars on the market. The body is made from lightweight pine, known for delivering a punchy and complex tone. This model takes it a step further by incorporating a roasting treatment, significantly enhancing the resonance of the body.
The thick "U"-shaped neck ensures comfortable playability, while the Tim Shaw-designed Esquire bridge pickup, inspired by an original '50 Esquire from the Songbirds Museum in Chattanooga, TN, ensures authentic sound reproduction. This limited edition model also features a special anniversary neck plate and comes with a tweed case, adding to its overall appeal.
Experience the blend of tradition and innovation with the Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Esquire Electric Guitar, a perfect choice for both professional musicians and hobbyists alike.
