1953 Fender Esquire
Blond

Art.Nr. FE53ESQ2448

Super nice 1953 Fender Esquire Blackguard in Blond finish. This guitar has been purchased by it’s former owner in Houston, Texas in 1996 and remained in Germany since then – its a well known guitar that has been featured in an article in the German Gitarre&Bass magazine in 2008 (it’s described that Billy Gibbons traded this guitar for another one). It’s in original condition besides the electronics (pots, caps and switch (including switch-tip) have been replaced in the early 90s (pots are dated 1992)). The original pickup has been wax potted. The fretboard has been polished during a fretjob. Otherwise it’s original, beautiful finish, it has the “ESQ” penciled under the neck plate and body. The tape in the cavity reads Mary 5-12-53. Typical for that era, the notched brass saddles and mix of slotted and Phillips screws. Great feeling neck – wonderful sounding example! Thos Blackguard Esquires are amongst the coolest vintage guitars at all! Comes in new case.
