Fender / Esquire / 1955 / Guitar For Sale
Fender | Esquire | 1955
Now available from Know Your Vintage Guitars on Vintage & Rare.
A beautiful and all original 1955 Fender Esquire, presented in very good condition with superb aging and patina across both body and neck.
This is a first-year white guard example, already featuring steel saddles while still retaining the highly desirable flat pole bridge pickup. A great combination of early Esquire features.
It also has the kind of neck many players hope to find in a mid-50s Fender: a big soft V that feels substantial without being harsh.
