Here’s a Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Double Esquire Custom in a super cool aged copper finish, incredibly checked, with a handwound loaded 51 Nocaster pickup at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 at the neck for some great tones. Comfortable and slim 60s Style Oval C carve, pearl dots, double binding and reverse controls for easy swells. Sweet guitar. Note that my lighting over emphasizes the checking a bit but they did an incredible job with it.
