It all comes wrapped up in a vintage-style nitrocellulose lacquer flash coat, aged to perfection with the Fender Custom Shop’s tasteful Relic package.The Esquire that never was Sporting a single pickup in the bridge position, the Esquire predates the Telecaster (and the original Broadcaster!), thus making it the first solidbody guitar marketed by Fender. That being said, the Limited-edition Red Hot Esquire Relic represents a wild departure from vintage specs with a stunning 2-piece ash semi-hollowbody construction inspired by the Telecaster Thinline guitars of the late 1960s. Coupled with a reverse Nocaster bridge and brass RSD saddles, it all comes together to result in a warmer, mellower reimagining of the Esquire’s traditional treble-biased bite.High-heat hand-wound Josefina “Red Hot” pickup In classic Esquire fashion, the Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Red Hot Esquire Relic requires but a single pickup to get the job done. It’s a rather fiery spin on the already twangy T-style bridge up, hand-wound by the Fender Custom Shop’s master winder Abigail Ybarra to ensure the highest quality of tone possible. And while this guitar naturally excels at the ripping rock ’n’ roll rhythms and crisp country licks that the Esquire is most revered for, a 3-way pickup selector with “cocked wah” controls unlocks an entirely new dimension of tones to explore.A brand-new, broken-in classic There’s a lot to be said about Fender’s intensive relicing process. And for a guitar like this, the relic’d finish gives your axe the travel-worn, broken-in feel you’ve always wanted. The master luthiers in the Fender Custom Shop expertly aged this guitar’s flash coat finish to accurately simulate decades of regular use onstage and in the studio. When you take the Limited-edition Red Hot Esquire Relic out of the case for the first time, you’ll feel right at home — almost as if you were the original owner more than seven decades ago.Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Red Hot Esquire Relic Features: A tantalizing twist between the single-pickup Fender Esquire and the Thinline Telecasters of the late 1960s 2-piece select ash semi-hollowbody offers a richer, more resonance vibe than your typical solidbody T-style 1-piece bird's-eye maple neck boasting a high-performance 7.25-inch to 9.5-inch compound-radius fingerboard and bend-friendly medium-jumbo frets Custom Shop Hand-wound Josefina “Red Hot” single-coil pickup serves up a high-heat spin on traditional Esquire bite 3-position pickup selector with distinctive “cocked wah” wiring controls Reverse Nocaster bridge with intonation-enhancing brass RSD saddles swaps around your pickup’s alignment to smooth over your treble strings and sharpen your bass strings Captivating Cabronita-style single-ply pickguard for a stylish southern twist Reversed control plate facilitates easy swells with the volume knob Flash coat nitrocellulose lacquer finish brandishes all the battle scars of a played-in vintage instrument SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape Red Hot Esquire Relic Body Material 2-piece Select Ash Color Aged White Blonde Body Finish Flash Coat Lacquer Neck Material 1-piece Birdseye Maple Neck Shape 1952 U Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 7.25"-9.5" Vintage Compound Fingerboard Material 1-piece Birdseye Maple Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Medium-Jumbo (6150) Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.625" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece Reverse Nocaster Bridge with Brass RSD Saddles Tuners Vintage-style Bridge Pickup Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Josefina "Red Hot" Tele Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 1 x tone Switching 3-way blade pickup switch (tone off, tone on, treble roll-off) Strings Nickel Plated Steel, .010-.046 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
