An all time classic, the Esquire has been held in iconic status since it was introduced back in 1950. Predating the Telecaster, it is seen as the holy grail for many yet is almost impossible to obtain due to the limited quantities and high price point of these models.
Thankfully Squier have given a tip of the hat to the original and have produced it at an affordable price point.
With a comfy C shaped maple neck and vintage style tuners it is very player friendly and would definitely be a great asset to any guitarist.
As with all guitars from the Classic Vibe series, it has been made to an impressive high quality.
With only a single pickup, there are still ample options thanks to the wiring.
The selector switch lets you switch between the bridge pickup with its classic sound but also bypassing the tone for a more direct sound.
