2024 Fender Custom Shop 1950 Double Esquire Relic - Aged Nocaster Blonde 6lbs 4oz!
2024 Fender Custom Shop 1950 Double Esquire Relic in Aged Nocaster Blonde
Fender Custom Shop digs deep into the history of Fender’s earliest solid-body guitar with this model—the 1950 Double Esquire. Back then, the single-pickup Esquire debuted in April 1950 as Fender’s very hard solid body electric Spanish guitar, joined a few months later in October 1950 by a two-pickup model. The new Custom Shop 1950 Double Esquire honors the models of that formative year and then some, with a distinctive combination of hand crafted features that make it very much its own machine.
The one-piece rift sawn maple neck is sculpted with a 1950-style “Blackguard” profile for comfortable and period-correct full-hand feel, topped by a vintage compound-radius (7.5”-9.5”) maple fingerboard with 21 medium vintage frets and a bone nut. Dual Custom Shop hand-wound ’50-’51 Blackguard pickups with ’51 Nocaster wiring deliver clear, crisp highs with well-balanced midrange and low end, with the extra versatility of blend control for both pickups.
Other premium features include a single-ply black phenolic pickguard, three-way pickup switch, ’51-’54 Telecaster bridge with brass barrel saddles and vintage-style tuners.
This example is an absolute featherweight coming in at 6lbs 4oz!
Includes Fender Deluxe hardshell case, Certificate of authenticity, strap and all case candy.
