The Fender Custom Shop 1956 Esquire® Relic® embodies the raw, pioneering spirit of Fender's first solid-body electric guitar. Finished in Nitrocellulose Lacquer, this masterfully crafted instrument features a lightweight, resonant two-piece select ash body paired with a one-piece quartersawn maple neck and fingerboard.
The Custom Shop Hand-Wound '55-'56 single-coil Tele® bridge pickup, delivers the iconic cutting twang and muscular punch that made the Esquire® legendary. The traditional 3-position switching system offers three distinct voices: straight-to-output jack for maximum bite, pickup with volume control for versatility, and pickup with both volume and tone controls for fuller, rounder tones.
Other premium features include a 11/56 Off Center “V” Back Shape, 7.25”-9.25” Vintage Compound Radius, 3-Saddle American Vintage Strings-Through-Body Tele® Bridge with Brass Saddles, 1-Ply Parchment Pickguard, Vintage-Style Tuning Machines with Fender® Logo, American Vintage 56-58 String Tree, Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap, Certificate of Authenticity.
