Fender Brad Paisley Esquire – Black Sparkle Road Worn (USED)

This isn’t your typical Esquire.

Finished in worn-in Black Sparkle Relic, this Brad Paisley signature model combines vintage Tele snap with clever modern versatility — all in an ultra-lightweight build that rings loud and lively.

Built with a paulownia core and spruce top/back, it’s incredibly resonant and comfortable on the shoulder. The relic treatment gives it that broken-in feel right out of the case.

The Secret Sauce

It may look like a single-pickup Esquire, but there’s a hidden Seymour Duncan neck pickup mounted beneath the pickguard.

Electronics include:

• Custom-wound Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley bridge pickup
• Hidden neck pickup
• 3-way switching
• Push/pull tone control for both pickups together

So you get:
• Classic Tele bite and twang
• Warm, round neck tones
• Both pickups for full Tele-style versatility

All while keeping that clean Esquire look.

Neck & Feel

This one features a custom “C” shape maple neck — comfortable, fast, and familiar. It’s not overly chunky and not too slim — just right in the hand. Paired with a 9.5” radius and medium jumbo frets, it bends easy and plays modern without losing vintage vibe.

Specs:

• Black Sparkle Relic finish
• Paulownia core with spruce top/back
• Custom Seymour Duncan bridge pickup
• Hidden neck pickup
• Push/pull tone control
• Custom “C” maple neck
• 9.5” radius
• 25.5” scale length
• Vintage-style Tele bridge with compensated brass saddles

Lightweight. Resonant. Way more versatile than it looks.
