'Pick of the Day' - 1952 Fender Esquire and 1967 Princeton Reverb

What has a single pickup, sounds incredible, plays great, and happens to be 67 years old? This 1952 Fender Esquire of course! This one comes to us from a collector who was the second owner, and is in top notch condition. A perfect medium-chunky C-shaped neck profile plays great with the resonance of the Ash body sustaining perfectly. This guitar has one of the finest single-coil pickups we've heard in any guitar, and it all comes wrapped up in an original "thermometer" case complete with the original strap! We're handing this one off to Aaron Hiebert for a demo through a beautiful 1967 Fender Princeton Reverb today.

Love the playing. Aaron is awesome. His jam reminded me of the White Stripes. A la.. I think I smell a rat...

What can you say about this guitar ? How about 1) what wood is the body 2) what does it weigh ? 3) what size strings are on it ?

[millmoormichael]

Jauza!! that thang..4:50 goodnight sir

[bugsbunny]

Those bodies were pine and I like how you didn't show the headstock in verry much detail.What I did see looked like the logo Esquire was cheaply done(forged)I to smell a rat.

I can get a fender Esquire for 1/10th of the price of that one

Imagine a 12” Celestion Alnico Blue speaker in that Princeton Reverb
