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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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. Other 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 2-Piece Select Ash with Offset Seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Esquire®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: 2-Piece Select Ash with Offset Seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Thickness: 0.575 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1950 Blackguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness: .925 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness 12th Fret: 1.00 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25 in to 9.5 in Vintage Compound Radius (184 mm to 241 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: 1-Piece Rift Sawn Maple Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePostion Inlays: Black Micarta Dot, 0.25 in (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black Micarta, 3\/32 in (2.38 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5 in (64.77 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Medium Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber Of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.625 in (41.3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: '51-'54 Tele® Bridge with Brass Barrel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Barrel Style, Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Vintage-Style with Fender Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Vintage-Style Disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt with Custom Shop \"V\" Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50\/'51 Blackguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound '50\/'51 Blackguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master Volume, Blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching:3-Position Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 1.
