dj gear. ~ Fender Classic 50s Esquire Buy Today guitar features an ash body with a single-ply white pickguard, AlNiCo pickups, and a maple neck and fingerboard. ~ Available in White Blonde (301), Two-color Sunburst (303) and Black (306). ~ The Esquire is among the most sought-after instruments in our entire family of Telecaster guitars. ~ Introduced in 1950, its unique circuitry and biting bridge pickup created a tonal sensation. ~ It later became the weapon of choice for greats including Jeff Beck and Bruce Springsteen, and has re-emerged time and again in the hands of many other great players. ~ Our '50s Esquire features an ash body, a C-shaped maple neck, a vintage-style three-saddle string-through-body Telecaster bridge, and a vintage-style single-coil Telecaster pickup with custom-wired three-way switching. ~ Basically, three-way switching on a single-pickup guitar gives you three preset tones. ~ In the bridge position, the pickup is connected only to the volume control (the tone control is disconnected); this minimal circuitry produces more top-end sparkle than is possible with a Telecaster. ~ In the middle position, the standard tone control circuit is activated. ~ In the neck position, the tone control is again disengaged, but a tone-shaping capacitor rolls off much of the top end and some bottom, producing a darker tone and slight volume loss. ~ Fender Classic 50s Esquire Specifications: Model Name '50s Esquire Model Number 013-1502-(Color#) Series Classic Series Colors (301) White Blonde, (303) 2-Color Sunburst, (306) Black, (Polyester Finish) Body Ash Neck 1-Piece Maple, "C" Shape, (Gloss Polyurethane Finish) Fingerboard Maple, 7.25" Radius (184mm) No. ~ of Frets 21 Vintage Style Frets Pickups 1 Vintage Style Single-Coil Tele Pickup with Alnico Magnets (Bridge) Controls Master Volume, Master Tone Pickup Switching Custom-Wired 3-Position Blade: Position 1. ~ Volume Control, (Dark Vintage Circuit), No Tone Control Position 2. ~ Volume Control with Cap. ~ and Tone Control with Cap. ~ Position 3. ~ Volume Control Only No Cap. ~ , No Tone Control Bridge Vintage Style 3-Saddle Strings-Thru-Body Tele Bridge Machine Heads Fender /Ping Vintage Style Tuning Machines Hardware Chrome Pickguard 1-Ply White Scale Length 25.5" (648 mm) Width at Nut 1.625" (41.2 mm) Unique Features "C" Shape Maple Neck, Knurled Chrome Knobs, Strings Fender Super 250R, Nickel Plated Steel, Gauges: (.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046), p/n 073-0250-006 Accessories Deluxe Gig Bag Case Deluxe Gig Bag Introduced 1/2005 Notice lighting; dj gear; drum sticks; orchesta percussion; electric drums; acoustic drums; percussion; drums; midi; sound modules; groove stations; arrangers; portable keyboards; digital pianos; workstations; synths; electric bass; bass; amps; acoustic guitar; electric guitar; musical instruments;
