Let me see if I've got this straight: in 1950, Fender introduced the first solid-body guitar. It had a single pickup (a lap steel, that must have been lying around) and was named the Esquire. It paved the way for what we now know and love as the Telecaster. In honor of this ground-breaking guitar, Fender has "re-introduced" it with a price tag that exceeds the average cost of a new Telecaster today. Makes sense, I guess.
But it's a nice looking guitar. This is the 2-color Sunburst. It is also available in White Blonde, Lake Placid Blue, and Surf Green.
