Finish OptionsFender 70th Anniversary EsquireThe 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 will be limited to 2020 only.SPECIFICATIONSModel #: 0170532802Series: Limited EditionCountry Of Origin: USColor: Lake Placid BlueBody: Roasted PineBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerBody Shape: TelecasterNeck Material: MapleNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerNeck Shape: '50 Broadcaster "U"Scale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)Fingerboard: MapleFingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm)Number of Frets: 21Frets Size: Vintage TallString Nut: BoneNut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)Position Inlays: Black DotBridge Pickup: Tim Shaw Designed Esquire Bridge PickupControls: Master Volume, Master TonePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
