For 2015, the Fender Custom Shop proudly introduced an expanded selection of premium "relic" finishes, designed to replicate the worn-in vibe of a genuine vintage instrument. The Relic finish authentically showcases the wear of a guitar that has seen years of regular use, capturing the essence of original-era Fender with unparalleled breathability and resonance.

This Custom Shop Limited Edition 1955 Esquire Relic features a premium-grade, lightweight Ash body, and is equipped with a Custom Shop Josefina hand-wound '55 Telecaster single-coil bridge pickup with staggered and beveled pole pieces. This setup delivers the authentic Esquire snap and tonality you’ve been looking for.
