This 1950 Double Esquire offers a truly unforgettable playing experience that no Telecaster aficionado should miss out on.Tones straight out of time Fender's Custom Shop luthiers never fail to do their homework, so this 1950 Double Esquire feels — and sounds — like an axe straight out of time. Its body is built from hand-selected ash, a tonewood prized for its ear-grabbing acoustic blend of warmth, brightness, and midrange "pop." What's more, this 2-piece body includes a period-correct off-center seam. This solidbody electric guitar's 1-piece rift-sawn maple neck boasts an addictive 1950-style Blackguard back shape, and its vintage-compound-radius fingerboard ensures effortless, lightning-fast playability. Moreover, 21 medium-vintage frets enable you to bend judiciously with zero worries about fretting out.Attitude-laden pickups This Fender Custom Shop 1950 Double Esquire sports two beloved Blackguard pickups; the Blackguard was first featured on early '50s Fenders such as the original Broadcaster and is a perfect pick for this stunning re-creation. Blackguards offer hot output with distinct midrange growl that outperforms most vintage single-coils. The bridge pickup features classic uncovered pole pieces while the neck pickup's chrome cover delivers slightly less output with a more rounded, mellow tone. Paired with '51 Nocaster wiring, a bridge/neck blend, and a 3-way pickup selector, these pickups offer a wide spread of tones ranging from biting Telecaster twang to raunchy depth with big sustain.Adorned with topflight hardware You'll appreciate all the special finishing touches applied to this 1950 Double Esquire. You'll benefit from top-shelf hardware, including a '51–'54 Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and a disc string tree. A single-ply phenolic pickguard gives this solidbody electric guitar gorgeous vintage aesthetics.
