1962 Fender Esquire - Blonde

Serial Number 89802

This has all the features common to early rosewood fingerboard Esquires. It has a Brazilian rosewood “slab board” fingerboard on a slim maple neck (seen until late-1962), clay dots (seen until 1964), single ply white pickguard (seen until 1963), and an ash body with a see-through blonde finish.

It has a one of the top-loading/string-through bridges that can be seen on Teles and Esquires from 1959 to as late as 1962.
