Fender Custom Shop Jeff Beck Tribute Esquire Relic

This limited-edition electric guitar is an exact reproduction of Jeff Beck's heavily modified 1950s Esquire. It specifically recreates the guitar he prominently used during his time playing with the Yardbirds in the 1960s. Fender Custom Shop meticulously duplicated the original instrument's unique modifications.

The 'Relic' finish means the Fender Custom Shop intentionally aged and distressed the guitar to accurately mirror the decades of wear on Beck's original instrument. This includes artificial dents, oxidation, and worn paint down to the bare wood. It gives the brand-new guitar the authentic look of a vintage road-worn classic.

The guitar features a unique bridge pickup routing and a specialized custom-wound pickup designed to match Beck's legendary tones. It also includes a thick 'slab' pine body, which differs from standard modern ash bodies. These specific details were crucial to replicating the sound of his 1950s original.

This specific guitar is manufactured by the Fender Custom Shop in the United States. It was built by Fender's elite Master Builders as a highly limited, premium tribute run. Instruments from this division represent the highest tier of Fender's manufacturing capabilities.
