Here’s a rare Squier Esprit. The Esprit design was originally developed by John Carruthers for Fender in the mid-’80s, later associated with Robben Ford. This Korean-built Squier version kept the high-end appointments: set-neck construction, bound body & neck, block inlays, and dual humbuckers with Les Paul-style controls.
Specs:
Made in Korea
Set neck, mahogany body w/ flame maple veneer top
Cherry Sunburst finish
Bound top, neck, and headstock
Rosewood fretboard w/ pearloid block inlays
2 humbuckers, 2V / 2T, 3-way toggle
TOM bridge w/ stop tailpiece
Original Kluson-style tuners
Includes hard case
Condition:
Good overall — some finish wear & scratches on top/back (see pics).
Electronics tested & fully functional.
Frets in good shape with plenty of life.
These don’t come up often — they’re well-built and have become sought-after among players who want the Esprit/Robben Ford vibe without spending thousands.
Case has a bump in it, as per the photos
Price: $800 OBO (local pickup in Gardena, CA welcome)
