Currently strung with Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottoms (10- 52). The Fender case is missing one "foot". Please see my "Feedback as a Seller". It's been a while but I used to sell guitars on eBay. Thanks! Now, to celebrate 70 years of that legendary status, the original one-pickup wonder is back and better than ever. The 70th Anniversary Esquire combines classic looks, feel and sound with modern touches, beginning with a roasted pine body that offers the same lightweight comfort and punchy, complex tone as the earliest models, but is here upgraded with Fender’s roasting treatment for improved resonance and coated in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer for easy playability. That nitro finish extends to the comfortable, thick “U” maple neck, topped with a maple fingerboard with 21 vintage tall frets and black dot markers. Hardware and accessories include a three-saddle American Vintage Strings-Through-Body Tele bridge with solid barrel steel saddles, a bone nut and vintage-style tuners. But if there’s one feature that most defines the Esquire, it’s the guitar’s single bridge pickup. Working in conjunction with a unique wiring schematic, it lends the instrument a unique, attention-grabbing sound—percussive, responsive and rich—all its own. Here, the Esquire’s distinctive calling card is represented by a Tim Shaw Designed single coil, inspired by an original ’50 Esquire from Songbirds Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Shaw pickup is controlled by master volume and tone knobs, as well as, in classic Esquire fashion, a three-position blade switch that offers a range of sonic options, including preset treble roll off and the ability to engage or bypass the tone control.NUT WIDTH: 1.650”, bone NECK: One piece maple, thick U shape FRETBOARD: Maple, 25.5” scale with 7.5” radius FRETS: 21 Vintage Tall TUNERS: Fender vintage style BODY: Roasted pine BRIDGE: 3-Saddle American Vintage Tele with barrel-steel saddles PICKUP: Fender Tim Shaw–designed Esquire single-coil CONTROLS: Volume and tone.
