Product Description
Key Features
- 1950 Blackguard Neck - Sometimes referred to as Fender’s baseball bat neck, the ‘51 U shape neck offers a chunky yet comfortable playing experience perfect for players who really like to connect with their guitar neck.
- Heavy Relic - Aged to replicate the mesmerising aesthetics of a working guitarist's workhorse instrument. This relic treatment features the typical playwear, dings and decolourisation found on many of the most lusted-over instruments.
- Compound Radius - With its rounder 7.25’’ radius by the nut and flatter 9.5’’ radius from the 12th fret, this double Esquire offers maximum comfort up and down the neck.
’50-’51 Blackguard Pickups
The Fender Custom Shop ’51 Blackguard pickups are faithful recreations of quite possibly the most historically important electric guitar pickups ever to be produced… the set that started it all. Constructed using period-correct fibre bobbins and cloth wire, flush (no stagger) Alnico 3 magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire and a Tin-plated Copper base plate these vintage-accurate pickups produce the esteemed shimmer and twang that early Teles are famed for. These medium-output pickups produce a balanced tone with a clear and focused midrange and a tight low-end and work well with all playing styles.

Founded in 1987 the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo's designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!
