Key Features

  • Journeyman Relic Nitro Finish – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized possession for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with just the right amount of honest playwear. This ’59 Esquire features Closest Classic relic’d hardware for a slightly better-kept appearance.
  • 1969 U – Not to be confused with the larger U-shaped necks of the early ‘50s, the ‘69 U-shaped neck profile offers players a fast-feeling neck with more pronounced shoulders.
  • Quarter Sawn Maple – Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.

‘51 Pickups

The Fender Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster (Telecaster) bridge pickup is a faithful recreation of quite possibly the most historically important electric guitar pickup ever to be produced… the sound that started it all. Constructed using period-correct fibre bobbins and cloth wire, flush (no stagger) Alnico 3 magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire and a Tin-plated Copper base plate, this vintage-accurate pickup produces the esteemed shimmer and twang that early Teles are famed for. It’s partnered with a Loaded ’51 neck pickup for extra grunt and mid-range push.

Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain.
