This lightweight blond beauty weighs just 6.50 lbs. and has a nut width of 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Solid ash body and super rare maple-cap neck with a wonderful medium-to-fat profile. Maple-cap fretboard with 21 original medium-thin frets and black dot position markers. Single "butterfly" string tree. CBS 'Black' headstock decal with "Fender Esquire" and two patent numbers "2,573,254 3,143,028" in black below it. Individual Fender "F" Tuners with octagonal metal buttons. Four-bolt neck plate with serial number "252319" between the top two screws.One single-coil pickup, angled in bridgeplate, with an output of 6.06k. Three-ply (white/black/mother-of-toilet-seat) plastic pickguard with eight screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) plus three-way "tone" switch with "top-hat" tip, all on metal plate adjoining pickguard. Chrome knobs with flat tops and knurled sides. Telecaster/Esquire combined bridge/tailpiece with three steel saddles. Complete with its original "ashtray" bridge cover. The neck is stamped "3OCT68A", and the pots are dated "137 6642" (CTS, October 1966). Apart from a few small surface marks on the edges, and some finish checking, this remarkable example of a very rare maple-cap Esquire is in totally original and exceptionally fine (9.00) condition. Complete with it's original 'Ashtray' bridge cover, original Fender 12 page hang-tag Instruction manual, guitar cord, guitar strap and an old set of Fender strings. Housed in its original Fender black hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.25).
This is the first 'maple-cap' Esquire that we have ever seen!

Phil X nickname should be Shres X! 24/7 he delievers and of all the videos I have watched, I now realize why Phil X is so sought after. He is an all around guitarist. He can play anything! He makes me want a vintage telecaster. When I finish college, I'm visiting, to get a badass guitar from you guys! Phil needs 2 do instructional videos! He has shown me to open my mind to other music styles. I thank him & frettedamericana for having him host your vids! Thanks a million!

Yet another great review of a classic guitar. EXCELLENT sound for the full resistor forward switch position tone. I built an Esquire and could NEVER get that tone bright enough for it to be workable, and I had an ebony fretboard to liven up the strings a bit.It's a hard tone to get right and this Esquire is better than most for it. Great playing by Phil X as usual. Take care guys and thanx for the vid.

One more thing, Phil, "flippin out" from1989 is amazing! You can play anything! You are way underrated. Saw your Bon Jovi solos, fantastic!! You sing and play better than Richie. Sorry Richie. Anways, I never compliment because everybody does that. I'm sure you hear it all the time. I just wanted you to know that you are an inspiration.

I bought teles/esquires because of the tones you showed me those guitars can have. Are you guys coming to Chicago, The Drills I mean? Also, one day I hope to fly out and shake your hand for getting back into guitar man. Thank you. Thank you yo Fretted Americanna for producing these awesome demos!

I've seen about all the videos you've made for F.A. and your personal bands and a lot of the gigs you've done. Followed you through the Bon Jovi fill in for Richie Sambora (great job man!!!) and really enjoyed it. I have a request if you ever have time and the inclination to play it.... Thin Lizzy... they rocked! Can you do some Jailbreak? It's an awesome display of guitar to me, love it!

Hi there. Phil's using some black little tiny big black round thing (kind of straplock) to save his guitar strap. He also mentioned it in some video. Would it be possible to tell us where to get this sweeties in Europe. please? That would be really nice. Thanks a lot.
