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 w/Neck Pickup, 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”.
A hand-wound ‘50-‘51 Blackguard pickup is outfitted with full-throttle Esquire wiring, which adds quite a bit of versatility - (Position 1: Volume and Tone, Position 2: Volume, Position 3: Pickup Straight to Output) with a three-way switch. Included in the case is a second pickguard with a neck pickup, as well as a second pre-wired control assembly. So very easy to convert for Two Pickup operation and back again. 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.
