Fender Custom Shop Limited '55 Esquire / Telecaster Relic (Two Tone Sunburst)

Fender Custom Shop Limited '55 Esquire / Telecaster Relic (Two Tone Sunburst) Overview

Let's face it- the Esquire is downright cool. It's almost like a single-pickup guitar is saying "Ha- I don't need your fancy neck pickup, I can do it all". But there are times when, as great as it is to have that Esquire twang, sometimes you really want something a bit smoother and rounder sounding. With this awesome guitar you really can have it all- the Custom Shop have included an extra scratchplate with a Tele neck pickup included! So you can switch back and forth as you choose.. The 2015 Limited Edition 1955 Relic® Esquire® is a peerlessly crafted take on the single-pickup classic that preceded even the Telecaster in Fender history. Everything about the instrument takes you back to that original era, with a lightweight ash body in lacquer Relic body finishes that evoke long years of wear and tear. Authentic Esquire snap comes from its hand-wound -55 Telecaster® single-coil bridge pickup with staggered/beveled polepieces, and, in a special touch, the guitar comes with a neck pickup conversion kit containing a -55 Telecaster single-coil neck pickup, pickguard and control assembly should you prefer dual-pickup tone and performance. Other premium features include a quartersawn maple neck with "soft V" profile and worn Relic treatment on the back, 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow jumbo frets, three-way tone/pickup switch with black "top hat" tip, single-ply five-hole white pickguard, -55 Telecaster bridge with -+" steel saddles, American Vintage tuning machines and a Custom Shop Limited Edition neck plate. Includes blonde Limited Edition case containing a 1955 Fender Downbeat catalog insert reproduction.
