Fender Custom Shop Artisan Series Buckeye Burl Double Esquire Aged Natural
Fender Custom Shop Artisan Series Buckeye Burl Double Esquire Aged Natural
Serial Number: R139818
Weight: 5.64 lbs.
The Fender Custom Shop Artisan Series Buckeye Burl Double Esquire in Aged Natural (Serial #R139818) puts a buckeye burl top on a '52 Tele-shaped semi-hollow body. The body underneath is roasted pine. Tortoise shell binding with herringbone purfling frames the top, and the body is finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. It weighs just 5.64 lb.
The neck is roasted 3A birdseye maple with a '60s-style oval "C" carve (.790" at the 1st fret, .930" at the 12th) and a light-tint nitro finish. The rosewood fretboard has mother of pearl dot inlays, a 9.5" radius, and 21 narrow-tall frets on a 25.5" scale. The bone nut measures 1.650". The neck attaches with a 4-bolt joint. The Tele headstock carries an Esquire decal and vintage-style Fender tuners with tortoise buttons. A Nocaster-style bridge with RSD saddles anchors the strings, and a Caballo-style tortoise pickguard finishes the look.
Hand-wound '51 Nocaster single-coils sit in the neck and bridge positions, and the controls are simple: volume, tone, and a 3-way blade selector. The bridge pickup gives you bright, cutting twang. The neck pickup is warmer and rounder, and the middle position blends the two into a fuller sound, with the semi-hollow body adding a little openness. Whether you're a country picker, a roots-rock player, or a collector of Custom Shop Teles, this Double Esquire is worth a close look. (Serial #R139818) Includes a black Fender Custom Shop hardshell case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Fender dealer.
