The Squier Classic Vibe Custom Esquire pays tribute to a truly iconic and often overlooked chapter in Fender history: the single-pickup, double-bound Esquire models of the late 1950s and early ’60s. With its striking Candy Apple Red finish and ivory body binding, this guitar is a vintage visual standout, capturing the retro elegance of early solid-body design.

What sets the Esquire apart, however, is its deceptively simple electronics layout. While there's only one pickup — an alnico single-coil designed by Fender — the 3-way selector switch unlocks a surprising range of tones. Position 1 bypasses the tone circuit for pure, unfiltered punch. Position 2 engages standard tone control, while Position 3 rolls off treble for a rounder, bass-heavy tone reminiscent of early jazz and blues tones. Whether you're chasing classic rockabilly twang, gritty garage rock, or dynamic modern blues, this Esquire delivers a powerful, responsive voice in a stage-ready package. With a comfy “C” shaped neck, vintage-tinted finish, and classic hardware, the Classic Vibe Custom Esquire is a love letter to vintage tone with modern reliability. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
