Award-winning country music superstar Brad Paisley joined forces with Fender to put a twist on a legendary guitar. The Brad Paisley Road Worn Esquire is bold, resonant and adds something extra to the traditional single-pickup workhorse from the early-1950s.
The Brad Paisley Esquire features a paulownia and spruce body finished in a stunning black sparkle Road Worn lacquer, a custom Enhanced V-shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius fingerboard and custom pickups - including a Brad Paisley signature Seymour Duncan Secret Agent neck pickup hidden under the black and silver paisley pickguard.
LIGHTWEIGHT, RESONANT BODY
The custom paulownia body sports a spruce top and back, creating a lightweight instrument with acoustic-like resonance.
PAISLEY-APPROVED ELECTRONICS
Brads signature Secret Agent neck pickup from Seymour Duncan is paired with a custom-wound '64 Tele single-coil bridge pickup to offer versatile tonal options beyond a traditional Esquire.
ENHANCED V" NECK PROFILE
Crafted to Paisley's personal specifications, the Enhanced V"-shaped neck rounds out higher up the neck, making it great for chording or soloing.
ROAD WORN FINISH AND HARDWARE
The Road Worn Black Sparkle lacquer finish and aged hardware give this Tele a classic "broken-in" look and feel.
CUSTOM PAISLEY PICKGUARD
A classy black and silver paisley pickguard complements the Road Worn Black Sparkle finish.
VINTAGE STYLE BRIDGE WITH COMPENSATED SADDLES
Vintage-style 3-saddle brass Tele bridge offers classic Tele tone and feel, while the compensated saddles deliver accurate intonation.
