Squier Classic Vibe Custom Esquire Electric Guitar - Candy Apple Red, Laurel Fingerboard
A tribute to the iconic double-bound Esquire® models of the late ’50s and ’60s, the Classic Vibe™ Custom Esquire combines timeless style with versatile tone. Its Fender-Designed™ alnico single-coil bridge pickup delivers authentic vintage character, while the 3-position blade switch provides tonal variety—from bypassing the tone control for raw output, to traditional variable tone shaping, to a preset capacitor setting for bass-rich warmth.
With its double-bound Candy Apple Red poplar body, vintage-tinted gloss maple neck, and nickel-plated hardware, this throwback Squier® model captures the look and feel of a true classic while remaining accessible for modern players.
