Pre-owned in excellent condition, this Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire is a great playing guitar with a chunky 'U' neck profile. Finished in a White Blonde with a maple neck, this is a very well put together ode to the 1950 Esquire.

This guitar has been looked after with one small lacquer ding on the back as pictured. The frets are in great condition with only a small amount of wear and it is playing very well.

Comes with original hardshell case, case candy and certificate of authenticity.

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 "U"-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 was limited to 2020 only.
