The Fender Custom Shop’s 1959 Esquire Relic LTD guitar is featured in a Team-built limited run of 100 instruments.
Its two-piece premium ash body has a gold nitrocellulose lacquer
finish; the late-’50s C-shaped maple neck has a light-tint laquer
finish. Other features include a ’63 custom Telecaster bridge pickup,
gold hardware and a vintage-style top-load Telecaster bridge with three
threaded steel saddles. The guitar has been given the “Relic”
treatment—built to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks,
scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.
