Zolla Esquire Natural 1988 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Zolla Esquire in natural finish. Built in the USA in 1988 this guitar features a bolt-on construction reclaimed wood body with a "D" shape Maple neck and fingerboard. Featured on this instrument is a Brass string-through-body Tele bridge, a set of Schaller tuning machines, and one DiMarzio HS3 stacked single coil that is wired to a master volume, master tone and a three-way tone selector.

The "D" profile neck sits comfortably in the hand, the Satin finish to the back of the neck provides a smooth and effortless affair when navigating the neck. The flat radius Maple fingerboard  feels smooth under the fingers when playing, and assists with fluid transitions, as well as bending and vibrato techniques. The single cutaway offers great comfort and uninhibited access to the higher register, making lead lines effortless and welcoming to a wide range of styles. 

The single DiMarzio HS3 stacked single coil provides you with all of the tele twang that you could possibly want. The bridge position sounds bright and glistening with plenty of spank, power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The neck position provides a humbucker tone, sounding round and warm, and can achieve anything from hard rock and blues through to jazzy tones when rolling down the tone control.
