Description

This 1954 Fender Esquire Tele Conversion in Butterscotch Blonde is a beautifully executed blend of authenticity and playability. Originally an Esquire, it’s been converted to Tele specs with care and period-correct detail. The body has been refinished, giving it a clean, aged look that highlights its vintage charm. It retains the original bridge pickup, paired with a Lollar ’52 neck pickup that adds warmth and roundness to the mix. A full refret makes it play beautifully—smooth, responsive, and comfortable up the neck—making this vintage conversion not only a piece of Fender history but a genuinely inspiring guitar to play. Comes with a HSC.
