FENDER TES 54 EQSUIRE BLONDE JAPAN c.1986

The Fender Esquire was a simplified version of the Telecaster, featuring only a single pickup in the bridge position. However, featuring wiring that allows for a wide range of tones from warm bass like sounds to cutting twang. The 3 position switch is what features this range. Position 1 being wired only through the volume pot, allowing for a bright and clear sound. Position 2 brings in the tone control so is slighty warmer than Position 1, even with the tone wide open. Position 3 bypasses the tone again but features a treble roll off capacitor, giving very dull and thumpy bass like tones.

This Japanese made model from the 80s tries to maintain accuracy of the original models, down to the small vintage style frets. This guitar has had a minor relic job on the fingerboard and a new jackplate added in the square metal style.
