Subtly modified Esquire with versatile sound character.
With the Fender Limited Edition Reverse Esquire Heavy Relic MN AgedWhite Blonde, the FenderCustom store sends a strictly limited special model of the legendary one-pickup Esquire into the race, which thanks to subtle as well as smart detail solutions comes up with a first-class playing feel and surprisingly diverse sound characteristics. In addition to the classic ash body, the electric guitar features a comfortable Rift-Sawn-Maple neck with a powerful "Soft V" profile and vintage compound radius. On the guitar amp, the '50/'51 Blackguard Single Coil mounted in reverse compared to the regular Esquire, the innovative "Esquire Cocked Wah" Wiring provide amazing diversity and characterful vintage sounds. While authentic Vintage-StyleHardware completes the features of the Limited Edition Reverse Esquire, the detailed Heavy Relic finish conveys the look and feel of a vintage instrument recorded over decades.
The Fender Limited Edition Reverse Esquire Heavy Relic MN Aged White Blonde combines a tradition-conscious vintage styling with innovative detail solutions.
A neckplate and four screws connect the two-piece ash body to the strong "Soft V" maple neck of the Reverse Esquire.
Traditionally built Esquire
When building the Reverse Esquire Heavy Relic, the luthiers at the FenderCustom store naturally follow historically pre-briefed specifications. Beneath the Heavy Relic nitrocellulose finish, with its detailed recreation of several decades' worth of playing marks, the guitar conceals a two-piece body made of carefully selected ash wood, which, in conjunction with the bolt-on rift-sawn maple neck, lays the foundation for a crisp tonal character. The powerful "'57 StyleSoft V" neck profile with a vintage compound radius that flattens out towards the higher registers also promises excellent playing characteristics in all registers of the 21-fret maple fingerboard.
A Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50/'51 Blackguard Single Coil with "Esquire Cocked Wah" circuit promises versatile guitar tones with vintage character.
'50/'51 Blackguard Pickup with "Cocked Wah" Wiring
The electrical tone transformation of the Limited Edition Reverse Esquire is handled by a hand-wound FenderCustom Shop '50/'51 Blackguard single coil. Compared to the regular Esquire with the bass pole pieces mounted towards the bridge, the single coil elicits top-class vintage sounds from the guitar amp with a pleasant balance of lows and highs, without denying the typical Fender twang. Another highlight turns out to be the "Esquire Cocked Wah" Wiring, with which surprisingly diverse timbres can be realized. While positions 1 and 2 of the blade switch combine the pickup with the volume control and the volume and tone controls, respectively, position 3 connects the volume pot with a capacitor to create a filtered sound with the coloration of a wah-wah pedal.
On the headstock with Custom Shop "Limited Edition" badge, vintage-style tuners guarantee accurate and stable tuning.
Vintage style hardware
Of course, the FenderCustom store completes the Limited Edition Reverse Esquire Heavy Relic MN AgedWhite Blonde with high-quality Hardware in the vintage style perfectly matched to the guitar. On the body here a Fender Reverse Nocaster bridge with inverted opening for the pickup is used. While three brass "barrel" tailpieces guarantee a clean intonation adjustment and a comfortable string action, the bridge with the string guide through the body supports the crisp sound character of the electric guitar. At the headstock, Fender Vintage-Style tuners also bring the Reverse Esquire precisely and securely in tune.
