Full Description
View Full DescriptionVersatile tones for a limitless performance
Once again, Fender Custom Shop have hit the mark with their distinctive tone. Featured onboard this model are two hand-wound Blackguard pickups, which produce an incredible dynamic range thanks to their crisp, clean highs, and well-balanced mid-range and low-end. These have been perfectly complemented by a range of controls that allow you to shape the way you play.
The inclusion of the blend control allows you to combine the elements of your pickups with the others in order to create a unique and dynamic tone. Alongside this is a 3-way pickup selector, which allows you to perform with the neck and bridge pickup individually, or combine them for a full, powerful, and broad sound. Topping off this Fender is the master volume. Crank up the volume and let your creativity run wild.
The perfect playability
This Double Esquire has been crafted with some of the finest materials. Its body features 2-piece select ash, which has been elegantly contoured to ensure that it accommodates both seated and standing playing. Not only is it shaped perfectly, but it also offers a sweet midrange and lively resonance. It also features a cutaway design, which means reaching the upper frets is effortless for an added high sparkle.
Paired with the ash is a maple neck and fingerboard. Its neck features a 1950 Blackguard profile, which sits naturally in the palm of your hand and, when paired with a nitrocellulose finish, offers a great base for gliding across the fingerboard with ease. The fingerboard has been designed with a compound radius for comfier chords and easier string bends. Once you pick the Esquire up, you won't ever want to put it back down due to how well it performs.
