DESCRIPTION
Fender Brad Paisley Esquire Road Worn Black Sparkle 5 LBS 15 OZ
Award-winning country music superstar Brad Paisley joined forces with Fender to put a twist on a legendary guitar. The Brad Paisley Road Worn® Esquire® is bold, resonant and adds something extra to the traditional single-pickup workhorse from the early-1950s.
The Brad Paisley Esquire features a paulownia and spruce body finished in a stunning black sparkle Road Worn lacquer, a custom Enhanced “V”-shaped maple neck with a 9.5” radius fingerboard and custom pickups—including a Brad Paisley signature Seymour Duncan Secret Agent neck pickup hidden under the black and silver paisley pickguard.
The custom paulownia body sports a spruce top and back, creating a lightweight instrument with acoustic-like resonance.
Brad’s signature Secret Agent neck pickup from Seymour Duncan is paired with a custom-wound ‘64 Tele single-coil bridge pickup to offer versatile tonal options beyond a traditional Esquire.
Crafted to Paisley’s personal specifications, the Enhanced “V”-shaped neck rounds out higher up the neck, making it great for chording or soloing.
The Road Worn Black Sparkle lacquer finish and aged hardware give this Tele a classic “broken-in” look and feel.
A classy black and silver paisley pickguard complements the Road Worn Black Sparkle finish.
Vintage-style 3-saddle brass Tele bridge offers classic Tele tone and feel, while the compensated saddles deliver accurate intonation.
