This is easily the best Squier I’ve ever owned.
Having played many guitars over the years, this FSR (Factory Special Run) Esquire stands out for its incredible build quality and resonance. It’s a "player's guitar" that feels and sounds far above its price point.
Why this Esquire is a keeper:
Solid Pine Body: Just like the original 1950s Broadcasters/Esquires. The Pine body provides that authentic, punchy, and highly resonant vintage tone that Tele-lovers crave.
The Esquire Wiring: The 3-way switch offers three distinct tonal palettes with just one pickup:
Volume/Tone (standard)
Volume only (straight to output for maximum "bark" and harmonics)
Fixed treble-roll-off (mellow/jazz vibes).
Exceptional Neck & Playability: Features a tinted gloss maple neck with a comfortable "C" profile. The fretwork is outstanding, with smooth edges and 21 narrow-tall frets that make bending effortless.
FSR Limited Edition: This is a Factory Special Run in the timeless Butterscotch Blonde, featuring custom skirted amp knobs and 50s-style hardware.
Condition & Setup:
The guitar is in Excellent condition. It has been professionally set up with a fresh set of 10s. The action is low, the intonation is perfect, and it’s 100% stage-ready.
