Back then, the single-pickup Esquire debuted in April 1950 as Fender’s very first solid-body electric Spanish guitar, joined a few months later in October 1950 by a two-pickup model. The new Custom Shop 1950 Double Esquire honors the models of that formative year and then some, with a distinctive combination of finely crafted features that make it very much its own machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducing balanced highs and sweet midrange with lively resonance, the two-piece select ash body has an off-center seam and wears one of four aged Blonde lacquer finish treatments: Deluxe Closet Classic Faded Nocaster Blonde, Journeyman Relic Nocaster Blonde, Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde, or Heavy Relic Aged Nocaster Blonde. Each finish treatment conveys the look, feel and vibe of a guitar that has either seen decades of relatively light use and great care or quite the opposite—a hard-fought lifetime of near-constant use, abuse and heavy wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-piece rift sawn maple neck is sculpted with a 1950-style “Blackguard” profile for comfortable and period-correct full-hand feel, topped by a vintage compound-radius (7.5”-9.5”) maple fingerboard with 21 medium vintage (47095) frets and a bone nut. Dual Custom Shop hand-wound ’50-’51 Blackguard pickups with modded ’51 Nocaster wiring deliver clear, crisp highs with well-balanced midrange and low end, with the extra versatility of blend control for both pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther premium features include a single-ply black phenolic pickguard, three-way pickup switch, ’51-’54 Telecaster bridge with brass barrel saddles, vintage-style tuners, disc string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51207415562515,"sku":"R124303","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r124303_lg1.jpg?v=1745638094","url":"https:\/\/wildwoodguitars.com\/products\/2023-collection-time-machine-1950-double-esquire-relic","provider":"Wildwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
