This is a Blue Collar Tele - Esquire guitar, Custom Shop series, serial #C0002, hand-built in the USA by renowned luthier Bob Davenport, certificate dated Dec 30, 2009.  This guitar weighs just 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and is very resonant.  Its original flat black finish is in exceptionally fine condition, with only a few minor dings or scuff marks from very minor playing wear.   This model is known as ‘Dice’ and features a Joe Barden Tele bridge assembly and pickup system utilizing level pole bars and brass bridge saddles, as in early 1950’s Fender Telecasters.  Other features include Kluson style tuners, slab-rosewood fingerboard, black pickguard, 1950’s Fender style full V-neck construction (designed to be slightly asymmetrical for ease in playing), engraved dice on chrome neckplate, as seen in the close-up, and cool looking actual dice for the knobs.  The back of the neck is left unfinished for that fabulous 'woody' feel and fast action.    The neck is straight, the string action is low, and the frets show no wear.    This is a fantastic sounding and playing hand-built Tele style Esquire.  It comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jeffrey Hurst and Bob Davenport, as seen in the 5th picture.  The guitar also comes in an Ess & Ess hard-shell case made in Brooklyn, NY.
