Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire®, Maple FB - Lake Placid Blue

Wolf Music Company is a small independent music store which means we do not keep guitars in a box in a warehouse.  We open, inspect, test, photograph and display every instrument that we sell which allows us to capture the grain of the wood to help you make a decision while purchasing online.  This also allows us to package the instruments more securely since often times manufacturers packaging is inadequate.In most cases the guitar in the photo is the one you will receive but from time to time we may have restocked an item or received more than one, so please message us if you have any requests or specifics.  The very first solid-body electric guitar offered by Fender in 1950 was the Esquire. With an elegant single-cutaway silhouette, adjustable 3-saddle bridge and a lone, repurposed lap-steel pickup in the bridge position - the Esquire laid the groundwork for all solidbody electric guitars to follow and foreshadowed its more famous sibling, the Telecaster. Like the earliest Esquire models, the 70th Anniversary Esquire features a pine body - a lightweight wood known for punchy and complex tone - and upgrades it with our roasting treatment, greatly improving the resonance of the body. Other features include a lacquer finish, thick 'œU'-shaped neck, Tim Shaw-designed Esquire bridge pickup - inspired by an original ™'50 Esquire from Songbirds Museum in Chattanooga, TN - special anniversary neck plate and tweed case. Production of the 70th Anniversary Esquire will be limited to 2020 only.Product SpecsModel Name70th Anniversary Esquire®, Maple Fingerboard, Lake Placid BlueModel #0170532802SeriesLimited EditionCountry Of OriginUSColorLake Placid BlueBodyRoasted PineBody FinishGloss Nitrocellulose LacquerBody ShapeTelecaster®Neck MaterialMapleNeck FinishGloss Nitrocellulose LacquerNeck Shape'50 Broadcaster® "U"Scale Length25.5" (648 mm)FingerboardMapleFingerboard Radius7.25" (184.1 mm)Number of Frets21Frets SizeVintage TallString NutBoneNut Width1.650" (42 mm)Position InlaysBlack DotBridge PickupTim Shaw Designed Esquire Bridge PickupControlsMaster Volume, Master TonePickup Switching3-Position Blade: Position 1.
