The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Double Esquire DLX Closet Classic in Aged Ocean Turquoise is a bold reinvention of a Fender classic, made for players who want vintage tone and style with a unique, custom twist. Built in extremely limited numbers, this Custom Shop creation doesn't just celebrate Fender's golden-era roots-it rewrites the rulebook with attitude and elegance.
At the heart of this striking build is a 2-piece roasted alder body with an offset seam, chosen for its lightweight resonance and rich tonal response. Finished in a beautifully aged nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar has a worn-in look and feel that makes it feel like a stage veteran from the moment you pick it up. The aging is subtle and tasteful; it's the kind of relic work that invites you to play it hard and often.
The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable '60s Oval "C" back shape that's instantly familiar, with just enough meat for chord work and enough finesse for leads. Topped with a 3A rosewood fingerboard and fitted with 21 Jescar vintage frets, the playing surface feels smooth, fast, and broken-in. A 9.5" fingerboard radius and vintage-style tuners ensure modern playability and reliable performance without sacrificing vintage authenticity.
But the magic of this Double Esquire lies in its pickup pairing. A Custom Shop hand-wound Loaded '51 Nocaster bridge pickup brings the expected Tele bite and twang with articulate top-end and punchy mids. Up front, a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 adds warmth, grit, and harmonic complexity-perfect for blues, soul, or vintage rock tones. The reverse Fat '50s Tele wiring lets you shape these two distinct voices with precision through a simple 3-way switch and master volume/tone setup. Whether you're switching from clean jangle to midrange growl or blending both for something in between, the tonal flexibility is inspiring.
Hardware is rock solid, featuring a '67-style Telecaster bridge with threaded steel saddles for vintage resonance and sustain. A bone nut, Fender-logo tuners, and American Vintage string tree keep your tuning locked in and your intonation spot-on during long sessions or intense gigs.
Visually, the Aged Ocean Turquoise finish is as cool as it gets. It balances classic surf-era vibes with Custom Shop class, while details like a 3-ply parchment guard, chrome hardware, and pearl dot inlays pull the whole look together with understated sophistication.
This isn't just a guitar you collect, it's a guitar you keep reaching for. At Cream City Music, we love instruments that do more than meet expectations; this Double Esquire DLX surprises at every turn and delivers a playing experience that's truly one of a kind.
