This 2006 Fender Custom Shop Jeff Beck Esquire Relic is far more than a working instrument, it is a carefully crafted collector’s piece rooted in early ’50s Fender history. Built as a solid body with an ash body and nitro finish, it faithfully captures the look and feel of the original Esquire concept. The maple neck with a ’57 Soft V profile, 7.25 radius maple fretboard and 21 jumbo frets reinforce its vintage correctness, while the top-load bridge with three brass saddles and aged nickel hardware complete the period-accurate aesthetic. The custom-wound ’51 Nocaster bridge pickup, single configuration with T and V controls and 3-way switch, is true to the original design, yet the real emphasis here is its collectible appeal. As a Custom Shop Jeff Beck signature from 2006, complete with certificate, soft case and flight case, and weighing around 2.95 kg, it stands as a highly desirable investment-grade instrument with strong long-term historical value
