Award-winning country music superstar Brad Paisley joined forces with Fender to put a twist on a legendary guitar. The Brad Paisley Road Worn® Esquire® is bold, resonant and adds something extra to the traditional single-pickup workhorse from the early-1950s.

The Brad Paisley Esquire features a paulownia and spruce body finished in a stunning black sparkle Road Worn lacquer, a custom Enhanced “V”-shaped maple neck with a 9.5” radius fingerboard and custom pickups - including a Brad Paisley signature Seymour Duncan Secret Agent neck pickup hidden under the black and silver paisley pickguard.

Features

• Paulownia core with spruce top and back; Road Worn Black Sparkle lacquer finish
• Two single-coil pickups; custom-wound ‘64 Tele® bridge pickup and Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley Signature Secret Agent neck pickup
• Custom Enhanced “V”-shaped neck; 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard
• Custom black and silver paisley pickguard
• Road Worn vintage-style hardware, including 3-saddle string-through Tele bridge with compensated brass barrel saddles

HIGHLIGHTS LIGHTWEIGHT, RESONANT BODY The custom paulownia body sports a spruce top and back, creating a lightweight instrument with acoustic-like resonance.

PAISLEY-APPROVED ELECTRONICS Brad’s signature Secret Agent neck pickup from Seymour Duncan is paired with a custom-wound ‘64 Tele single-coil bridge pickup to offer versatile tonal options beyond a traditional Esquire.

ENHANCED “V” NECK PROFILE Crafted to Paisley’s personal specifications, the Enhanced “V”-shaped neck rounds out higher up the neck, making it great for chording or soloing.

ROAD WORN FINISH AND HARDWARE The Road Worn Black Sparkle lacquer finish and aged hardware give this Tele a classic “broken-in” look and feel.

CUSTOM PAISLEY PICKGUARD A classy black and silver paisley pickguard complements the Road Worn Black Sparkle finish.

VINTAGE STYLE BRIDGE WITH COMPENSATED SADDLES Vintage-style 3-saddle brass Tele bridge offers classic Tele tone and feel, while the compensated saddles deliver accurate intonation.
