Description Brand: Fender Dexterity: Right-Handed Model: '50s Esquire Product Type: Electric Guitar MPN: 013-1502-306 Fingerboard: Maple Body Type: Telecaster Body Color: Black String Configuration: 6-String Country/Region of Manufacture: Mexico
A guitar classic that proves less is more. The Fender '50s Esquire Electric Guitar is the electric guitar that started it all. Originally released in 1950, it was Leo Fender's first marketed design. The single-pickup precursor to the Telecaster, the Esquire features a nicely figured, bookmatched ash body in two-tone sunburst with an authentic painted black Bakelite pickguard, maple neck, vintage-style bridge with compensated brass saddles replacing the original chrome steel saddles, volume, tone, and a 3-way quick tone-change switch. 3-way switching
The 3-way toggle switch gives you 3 preset tones. In the bridge position the pickup is only connected to the volume control (the tone control is disconnected). This minimal circuitry provides more top-end sparkle than a Telecaster. In the middle position the standard tone control circuit is activated and it functions just like any other tone control. In the neck position the tone control is disengaged, but a tone-shaping capacitor is added that rolls off a lot of the top end and some of the bottom. This setting produces darker tone along with slightly less volume. Pickup is authentic vintage-style, about 6K Ohms. In 9.9 condition, with some playing marks on the pickguard, which was pre-owned. Includes original genuine Fender gig bag.
