The Gent

I don’t think there is any doubt that Leo Fender was a god damn genius!
Slab body, bolt on neck, one pickup and a revolutionary tone circuit.
The Fender Esquire… What more do you really need?

My humble tribute to this truly iconic and legendary guitar.
What to me is the perfect illustration of Blues Heritage, Punk History!

Updated from the previous incarnation. You could say this is the 2.0! Ash body relic’d to mimic the original pine Fender used, maple neck, period correct Kluson road worn tuners.
Single ply pickguard, hand relic’d ash tray bridge with compensated brass saddles.
Hand relic’d control plate, CTS pots, Oak Grigsby switch with your choice of traditional or ‘Eldridge mod’ wiring and a stunning hand wound Tele style bridge pickup by the incredible Thomas Nilsen Pickups. If his Tele pickups were good enough for the late great Jeff Beck then dammit they’re sure as hell good enough for me!

Hand relic’d nitro paintwork in the colour and relic level of your choice.
