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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Name: 1950 Double Esquire Relic, 1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple Neck - Aged Nocaster Blonde\u003cbr\u003eModel #: 9236081203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral\u003cbr\u003eSERIES: Time Machine™\u003cbr\u003eORIENTATION: Right-Hand\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: Aged Nocaster® Blonde\u003cbr\u003eCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eHEADSTOCK: Telecaster®\u003cbr\u003eNECK MATERIAL: 1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003eNECK FINISH: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNECK SHAPE: 1950 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003eNECK THICKNESS: .925\"\u003cbr\u003eNECK BUTT WIDTH: 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003eNECK THICKNESS 12TH FRET: 1.00\"\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS: 7.25\" to 9.5\" Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD MATERIAL: 1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003ePOSITION INLAYS: Black Micarta Dot, 0.25\" (6.35 mm)\u003cbr\u003eSIDE DOTS: Black Micarta, 3\/32\" (2.38 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNUMBER OF FRETS: 21\u003cbr\u003eTRUSS ROD: Vintage-Style\u003cbr\u003eSTRING NUT: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 1.625\" (41.3 mm)\u003cbr\u003eNUT MATERIAL: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBODY: 2-Piece Select Ash with Offset Seam\u003cbr\u003eBODY FINISH: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBODY SHAPE: Esquire®\u003cbr\u003eBODY MATERIAL: 2-Piece Select Ash with Offset Seam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE: '51-'54 Tele® Bridge with Brass Barrel Saddles\u003cbr\u003ePICKGUARD: 1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003cbr\u003eCONTROL KNOBS: Knurled Chrome\u003cbr\u003eSWITCH TIP: Barrel Style, Black\u003cbr\u003eHARDWARE FINISH: Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003eTUNING MACHINES: Vintage-Style with Fender® Logo\u003cbr\u003eSTRING TREES: Vintage-Style Disc\u003cbr\u003eSTRINGS: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406\u003cbr\u003eNECK PLATE: 4-Bolt with Custom Shop \"V\" Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003eNECK PICKUP: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard\u003cbr\u003ePICKUP CONFIGURATION: SS\u003cbr\u003eCONTROLS: Master Volume, Blend\u003cbr\u003eSWITCHING: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
