Fender Esquire "Custom" Alleged NAMM model w/ Tweed Case, Very good 2002 - Olympic White

This Fender 2002 Esquire "Custom" in Olympic White is in very good condition.  We would say the condition is Excellent, but there are a couple big dings on the edge of the guitar - see the pics.

When you use the Fender online serial number search for this guitar the model is called out as a "custom instrument".  The certificate of authenticity says it is a "Custom Esquire", which tells me that this was a custom ordered instrument because it doesn't have binding like an Esquire Custom.  There is a tag in the case from a former seller that says this is a NAMM show model - that I can't confirm.  It is an awesome guitar with a beautiful neck, that I can say! It's loaded with a Fender Nocaster bridge pickup reading 6.87k, a bone nut, and a vintage-style bridge with brass saddles. The U-shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius and 1.650" nut width.

The finish is original and with some checking present. There's a ding and gouge on the bottom and side of the body, and a small ding on the bottom edge of the neck at the 5th fret — both pictured. Beyond that, everything checks out as original with no repairs. The frets are in excellent shape, and the truss rod has room for future adjustment. Action is a low and even 2/32" on both the 1st and 6th strings at the 12th fret.

The guitar comes in its original G&G tweed case, which is in very good condition with no smell. Accessories included are the bridge cover and a polish cloth.
