The John Page Founders Design Esquire gives the familiar Fender sound an acoustic starting point
The John Page Founders Design Double F-Hole Esquire is no ordinary look back at a classic. For the 30th anniversary of the Fender Custom Shop in 2017, Page returned to his own Page-o-caster concept: an electric instrument that invites playing and songwriting even without an amplifier. The double f-holes and the pronounced koa top make that idea immediately visible. The koa is also a tribute to his mentor Freddie Tavares. A recognizable Fender shape, but with a very distinctive story and a carefully chosen combination of materials.
The resonant construction provides an interesting counterpoint to the direct character of the single bridge pickup. Expect the articulation and touch sensitivity that make a good Esquire so appealing, with room to explore different colors through your hands, volume, and tone controls. This guitar is for players who prefer to discover the nuances of a single pickup rather than constantly switching. From open chords to pronounced melodic lines, the approach remains clear and musical.
The two-piece roasted mahogany body has a bookmatched koa top. The quarter-sawn roasted flame maple neck with an ebony fretboard combines a 10/56 V-profile with a 12-inch radius, 25.5-inch scale length, and 21 frets. The heel measures 1.685 inches. A hand-wound Original Blackguard Tele bridge pickup works with master volume and tone controls. The RSD Tele bridge features John Page Woodtone ebony saddles; Gotoh 510 HAP Mini tuners with ebony knobs complete the design.
