Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a near mint Fender Esquire 70th Anniversary 1950 Reissue that was only produced in 2020 and in limited numbers. 25.5" Scale, 9.5" radius, 6.71 lbs. From Fender:
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.
The nut measures 1.68", neck depth is .88"-.99" at the 1st and 12th frets respectively. It's a full C profile like the early Fender products. Freshly strung and accurately intonated with D'Addario XL 10-46 Nickel strings and low 1.75mm-1.5mm action. The neck is straight, the truss rod turns in both directions, and the relief is currently set for optimum playability. There is only light buzzing if played hard on the low action. It remains in excellent playable condition with no dead spots. Includes the hard case and the case candy in the photos.
