The
The authentic woods of the Fifties with pine for the body and maple for the bolt-on one-piece neck form the basis for the construction of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN 2-Color Sunburst. The body is subjected to a modern thermo-treatment which significantly reduces the residual moisture of the pine wood and thus promises a particularly resonant sound. With the powerful "'50 Broadcaster U" neck profile and the classic 7.25" fretboard radius, this electric guitar offers the realistic feel of a vintage original.
A single coil developed by pickup luminary Tim Shaw in bridge position handles the electrical sound conversion of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN 2-Color Sunburst. Based on the original pickup from a '50s Esquire at Songbirds Musuem in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this pickup delivers a lively vintage sound with perfect twang and high assertiveness. The Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire pickup is naturally managed by the authentic and authentically versatile 3-way Esquire circuitry. Accordingly, position 1 of the blade switch enables only the volume control, while position 2 activates the volume and tone controls. Position 3, on the other hand, connects the volume knob to a fixed treble roll-off.
Last but not least, reliable hardware equipment in authentic vintage style completes the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN 2-Color Sunburst. A Fender American Vintage Telecaster bridge with three brass string saddles and strings-thru-body construction supports the crisp sound of the electric guitar. Behind the bone nut on the headstock, Fender Vintage-style tuners with smooth action ensure precise and stable tuning of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire.
