USED Fender Custom Shop / 1959 Esquire Relic Faded 3-Color Sunburst 2012 [05]

We’ve just received a beautiful used 2012 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Esquire Relic!!

The Fender Esquire can be considered a prototype of the Broadcaster, which was built by Leo Fender around 1949.

While its appearance is identical to that of the current Telecaster, it features a single pickup at the bridge. The 3-way selector switch on the control panel functions as follows, starting from the bridge position: Tone Bypass (volume remains active), Normal Control (both volume and tone active), and Tone 0 (tone set to zero regardless of the control’s position).

It was crafted based on a 1959 model, featuring an alder body, a maple neck, and a slab-cut rosewood fingerboard.
Since it originally had a relic finish, it can be difficult to assess signs of wear, but there are almost no scratches that appear to have been added later, and it remains in good overall condition.

Included are the original hard case, two Owner’s Manuals, a bridge cover, four picks, a tag, a Fender Custom Shop CUSTOM CARE card, a sticker, a cleaning cloth, a cable, and a strap.
