With its 2-piece select alder body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar resonates with a lively, broken-in character that feels like it has decades of music already inside it. The Closet Classic treatment gives it just the right touch of vintage wear, while the rift sawn maple neck—carved into a comfortable ‘60s Oval “C” profile—offers a smooth, familiar feel that invites long playing sessions. Topped with a beautifully grained 3A rosewood fingerboard, 21 Jescar medium vintage frets, and classic clay dot inlays, it captures both the look and soul of an early-’60s workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, this Esquire keeps things elegantly simple yet tonally versatile. The Custom Shop hand-wound Loaded ’51 Nocaster bridge pickup delivers everything from biting twang to warm, rounded punch, controlled through a traditional 3-position blade switch. Whether you’re dialing in raw, unfiltered bridge tone, engaging the tone control for added warmth, or flipping to the preset treble roll-off for a darker, moodier voice, this guitar responds with clarity and character. The 25.5\" scale length, bone nut, and vintage-style tuning machines ensure stability and classic feel, while the RSD Jaguar\/Jazzmaster bridge pairs seamlessly with the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece for expressive pitch movement without sacrificing tuning reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery detail on this instrument reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and vintage accuracy, from the mint green 3-ply pickguard to the American Vintage ’59–’64 string tree. It comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, making it as collectible as it is playable. Whether you’re chasing classic tones, adding a unique piece to your collection, or simply looking for an instrument that tells a story the moment you pick it up, this Esquire delivers. You can experience it for yourself at Haggerty’s Music, where guitars like this aren’t just sold—they’re discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan
