For #fenderfriday we have a beautiful 1963 Fender Esquire Custom in its original white tolex hard shell case! - (Link in our profile). - This is one of our very favorite (and quite rare) Fender guitars; an original Pre-CBS bound-body Custom Esquire. In 1959 Fender decided to offer flashier versions of the plain-looking Telecaster and Esquire, their original standard guitars. These models had been available for nearly 10 years at that point, and perhaps thought to be lagging behind the sleeker Stratocaster and brand new liquid-sculpture Jazzmaster in eye appeal. "Two Fender Favorites have a startling new look" exclaimed the 1959 brochure.- - - - - #fenderesquirecustom #fenderesquiresofinstagram #rareguitar #leofender #solidbodyguitar #fenderesquire #solidbodyguitar #instagood #photooftheday (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0FLfAOaX_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
