Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Joe Strummer Esquire Relic Rosewood Fingerboard Electric Guitar
OVERVIEW
An electrifying tribute to Joe Strummer and his famed Fender Esquire.
The Fender Custom Shop Joe Strummer Esquire pays homage to the British punk icon and his battered guitar. This meticulous recreation, built by the master luthiers at the Fender Custom Shop, channels the raw, searing tone and stripped-down spirit of Strummer's iconic ax. Like the original Esquire, the relic'd alder body and single-coil pickup unleash pure, biting rock and roll fury. The worn maple neck has a fast, slick profile, while the vintage wiring circuit keeps the sound transparent. For stage and studio work alike, the Joe Strummer Tribute Esquire is built to take a beating. With collectible extras like a "Strummer" case and custom leopard-print strap, this is a must-have for Clash fans and guitarists who play by their own rules.
Custom Relic Finish That Ages and Wears Like the Original
Just like Strummer's road-worn Esquire guitar, this signature model features a custom relic finish designed to show natural wear and tear from years of intense performances. The body exhibits nicks, scrapes, chips and cracks, while the back of the neck is smoothed and played-in. The finish continues to age gracefully the more you use it, just as Strummer's original guitar did. The Fender Custom Shop examined reference photos to authentically replicate every crack and dent in the alder wood. As a result, the Limited Edition Joe Strummer Esquire has the vibe and spirit of a favorite guitar you've cherished for years.
Raw, Versatile Tone Powered by a Single Esquire Pickup
With its single bridge pickup and Esquire wiring circuit, this guitar captures Strummer's famously raw, stripped-down sound. The custom-wound single-coil pickup is voiced for searing rock tones, with plenty of bite and attitude. The 3-way switch gives you versatility, allowing you to cut highs or shape the EQ for just the right tone. Drive your amp into distortion and this pickup unleashes everything from sparkling cleans to full-on punk fury. Combined with the resonant alder body, the Esquire pickup configuration makes this a remarkably versatile guitar for recording and live work.
Resonant Alder Body Built for Hours of Playing Comfort
The lightweight alder body offers hours of comfortable use on stage and in the studio. The contoured forearm and back of the body fit nicely against your torso. Combined with the smooth neck heel, you can easily access higher frets while maintaining a secure grip on the guitar. The open-pore finish lets the wood breathe freely, enhancing resonance and sustain. Whether you're recording marathon sessions in the studio or playing multiple sets per night, this Strummer Esquire provides fatigue-free ergonomics.
Fast and Smooth Maple Neck Profile
The '59 C-shaped maple neck has a silky feel, making it easy to play at fast punk tempos. The vintage-style 9.5" radius promotes comfortable chording, while the medium jumbo frets are ideal for speed riffing. Between the slick profile, narrow 1.65" nut width and smooth fret ends, you'll find fast leads and quick chord changes are effortless. The neck wears and smooths naturally the more you play it, just as Strummer's original Esquire neck did after years of intense use.
Design Echoes Early Punk Minimalism
In true punk fashion, the Limited Edition Joe Strummer Esquire keeps things simple. It features a single Josephina hand-wound pickup that captures the raw, searing tone Strummer wrenched from his battered Esquire night after night. The vintage wiring and top-load bridge add to the stripped-down punk attitude. Tuning stability comes courtesy of Schaller mini machine heads. With its authentic vibe, searing tone and smooth playability, this lmited-edition Fender Custom Shop Joe Strummer Esquire celebrates an icon by capturing the spirit of his legendary guitar. Designed for punk, rock and alternative players, this relic'd beauty makes a stellar addition to any guitarist's arsenal.
