Used Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire White Blonde With OHSC
We just took a great guitar built in 2020 - it's a 70th Anniversary Esquire. This was a limited edition model and you don't see many around.
The very first solid-body electric guitar offered by Fender in 1950 was the Esquire. With a now iconic 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 - plus a special anniversary neck plate and tweed case.
Production of the 70th Anniversary Esquire was limited to 2020 only. It's been in demand ever since, and this one here is a great find! It's in excellent condition. The original case is included, and the guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. It's a great score.
