CLF Research Espada: 50 Years in the Making

Espada™ started development in the late 1960s at Leo Fender’s new CLF Research company, exploring his ideas for a bold, next-generation two-pickup guitar for his namesake company.  In late 1969, styling for the new model was nearly complete before the project was suddenly abandoned.  However, Espada’s blueprints and R&D artifacts remained deep within CLF Research archives.  The styling was beautiful, featuring an all-new body shape, pickguard design, and visually dominated by a new sword-like control plate.
