The
The authentic woods of the Fifties with pine for the body and maple for the bolt-on one-piece neck form the basis for the construction of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN Surf Green. The body is subjected to a modern thermo-treatment which significantly reduces the residual moisture of the pine wood and thus promises a particularly resonant sound. With the powerful "'50 Broadcaster U" neck profile and the classic 7.25" fretboard radius, this electric guitar offers the realistic feel of a vintage original.
A single coil developed by pickup luminary Tim Shaw in bridge position handles the electrical sound conversion of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN Surf Green. Based on the original pickup from a '50s Esquire at Songbirds Musuem in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this pickup delivers a lively vintage sound with perfect twang and high assertiveness. The Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire pickup is naturally managed by the authentic and authentically versatile 3-way Esquire circuitry. Accordingly, position 1 of the blade switch enables only the volume control, while position 2 activates the volume and tone controls. Position 3, on the other hand, connects the volume knob to a fixed treble roll-off.
Last but not least, reliable hardware equipment in authentic vintage style completes the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire MN Surf Green. A Fender American Vintage Telecaster bridge with three brass string saddles and strings-thru-body construction supports the crisp sound of the electric guitar. Behind the bone nut on the headstock, Fender Vintage-style tuners with smooth action ensure precise and stable tuning of the Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire.
