The Vintage Custom 1950 Double Esquire is a faithful recreation of one of those early models, the incredibly rare dual-pickup Esquire, which was outfitted with some very cool and compelling appointments that we felt modern players and vintage tone hounds alike would appreciate. It features hand-wound '50-'51 Blackguard pickups offering incredibly fat and juicy tone, coupled with modified '51 Nocaster® wiring and controls. You'll find a blender pot in place of a standard tone control and an additional resistor on the rhythm circuit for sweeter output. The neck features a vintage 7.25\"-9.5\" compound radius, which we found on some rare examples, giving it a unique feel even among vintage-inspired models. It also features medium vintage frets, which are slightly larger than vintage frets and very comfortable to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther features include a NOS flash-coat lacquer Nocaster Blonde finish, Closet Classic hardware, 2-piece off-center-seam ash body, tinted maple rift-sawn neck with 10\/56 \"V\"-shaped neck profile, 21 medium vintage frets, 3-way switch, black phenolic pickguard, '51-'54 Tele bridge with brass saddles, bone nut, round string tree and vintage-style tuning machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historic precursor to an undisputed legend, the 1950 Double Esquire is a glimpse into the innovations that were pivotal in the development of the Telecaster. Includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Nocaster® Blonde \/ Maple \/ 2-Piece Offset Seam Ash","offer_id":46893687668935,"sku":"9235000563","price":7107.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/8332\/9991\/files\/zg2e8vv1wo3r_0c392fc0-9ada-4aa7-8050-3ea2c25cb65a.jpg?v=1784894156","url":"https:\/\/fenderus.shop\/products\/vintage-custom-1950-double-esquire-dpc0kr","provider":"Crossroads Market Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
