Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1950 Pine Esquire - Aged Black - NEW!
Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1950 Pine Esquire
Time Capsule “Relic Ready” Flash Coat NOS Finish!
2nd Pickguard and Pre-Wired Kit included
The very first Fender electric solid-body guitar model wasn’t even around for a full year, yet it changed guitar music forever. Fender shipped barely a handful of them before changing the body to ash and the finish to blonde.
True to the original, the “Vintage Custom 1950 Pine Esquire” is a faithful recreation and features a slightly thinner (1.5”) laminated pine body. Its one-piece rift-sawn maple neck has a great big 1950 Esquire “U” profile, no truss rod, a 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets. With its NOS “flash coat” nitrocellulose lacquer finish and Closet Classic hardware, the Vintage Custom 1950 Pine Esquire looks like a well-cared-for original with only slight aging. Some people refer to this finish as “Relic Ready”. It’s much thinner than the traditional NOS finish package and will quickly show signs of use and checking – Perfect for those who want to “relic it yourself”. ** PLEASE NOTE: There are a couple of small dings on the back of the body already.
*** Please also Note: The guitar is currently wired up with the included Telecaster Neck Pickup, Pickguard, and Electronics installed. A second Esquire pickguard and wiring kit are included on the side. We will be happy to ship the guitar in your choice of configuration. The pickups are hand-wound ‘50-‘51 Blackguard. Full-throttle Esquire wiring (on the side) - (Position 1: Volume and Tone, Position 2: Volume, Position 3: Pickup Straight to Output) with a three-way switch. The installed wiring is for the Telecaster configuration. Other features include a single-ply eggshell pickguard, 1950 Esquire bridge with original style steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and disk string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity.
