Fender's Vintage Custom 1950 Double Esquire is a faithful recreation of a rare prototype that helped define what would become one of the most beloved instruments in modern music history.

This Double Esquire’s NOS flash-coat lacquer finish exudes vintage cool, while the lightweight and super resonant two-piece off-center-seam ash body provides the perfect tonal foundation for Fender's hand-wound '50-'51 Blackguard pickups. From the iconic '51-'54 Tele bridge with brass saddles to the bone nut and vintage-style tuners, every detail has been painstakingly crafted to honor the golden era of guitar design.

The hand-wound '50-'51 Blackguard pickups deliver everything you'd expect—bite, dynamic range, and that unmistakable twang. Thanks to the modified ’51 Nocaster wiring, this guitar offers enhanced versatility, featuring a unique blender pot in place of the tone control and a resistor in the rhythm/neck circuit.

The tinted maple neck features a 7.25"-9.5" compound radius, blending the comfort of vintage curves with modern playability. Whether you’re digging into rhythm or bend-heavy leads, this design feels at home in any style. Medium vintage frets round out the experience, striking the perfect balance between classic feel and effortless expression.

This is a guitar that not only looks the part but plays and sounds like a masterpiece of Fender’s storied history.
