Description

  • LACQUER FINISH

    The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

  • TIM SHAW-DESIGNED ESQUIRE PICKUP

    Designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw, this single-coil pickup recreates the tone of the earliest Esquire models.

  • THICK “U” NECK SHAPE

    The Esquire features a “U”-shaped neck profile for the substantial fret-hand feel typical of instruments from the original decade.

  • VINTAGE-ACCURATE BODY AND NECK RADII

    Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.

  • ANNIVERSARY NECK PLATE

    Commemorative neck plate celebrates 70 years of the Esquire.

  • ROASTED PINE BODY

    Like some of the earliest Esquire guitars, this model is built with a pine body. Lightweight, with a punchy and complex tone, it was upgraded further with the roasting treatment, greatly improving the resonance of the body.

The 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.
