this guitar comes in at just 6.2 lbs.  This has the Time Capsule finish, providing an authentic lacquer feel that gives the appearance of a guitar presented to you straight out of a time machine.  It's a very thin finish, allowing the guitar to breathe and remain as expressive as it gets.  Faded Natural Blonde is perfect for this, and the wood grain shows perfectly underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt has a perfectly crafted rift-sawn maple neck, with a fat 1959 “D” profile, vintage compound-radius fingerboard (7.25”- 9.5”) and 21 medium vintage frets.  It's super comfortable, and works great for both chord playing in the position and lead lines as you go into the higher registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA hand-wound ’58 Tele bridge pickup is wired to a vintage Esquire control assembly with a three-position blade switch.  The pickup is crafted to the original spec, with enamel wire, Alnico 5 magnets and a vintage stagger.  It provides all of the twang you could ever want, with the ability to clean up and get warm.  This may be a single pickup guitar, but it's surprisingly versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, ’59 Esquire bridge assembly, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and single wing string tree with metal spacer.  Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Custom Shop doesn't make a ton of Esquires, and this is one of the best we've had over the years.  Not only does it sound and feel amazing, but it's a super cool look - we love how the wood grain shows through the transparent finish.  Come to Club Fender at Truetone Music to experience this guitar, or order right here right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart #  9235001544\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R118306\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product-specs-title\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSERIES: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLOR: \u003c\/b\u003eFaded Natural Blonde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: \u003c\/b\u003eUS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK FINISH: \u003c\/b\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNECK SHAPE: \u003c\/b\u003e1959 \"D\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\" to 9.5\" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINGERBOARD MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Piece Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePOSITION INLAYS: \u003c\/b\u003eMicarta Black Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUMBER OF FRETS: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRING NUT: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUT WIDTH: \u003c\/b\u003e1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUT MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFRET SIZE: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium Vintage (47095)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCALE LENGTH: \u003c\/strong\u003e25.5\" (64.77 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK THICKNESS AT 1ST FRET:\u003c\/strong\u003e .810\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK THICKNESS AT 12TH FRET:\u003c\/strong\u003e .950\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY FINISH: \u003c\/b\u003eLacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY SHAPE: \u003c\/b\u003eEsquire®\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY MATERIAL: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Select Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil Tele®\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTROLS: \u003c\/b\u003eVolume, Tone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSWITCHING: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Position Blade: Position 1.
