Crafted with meticulous Japanese attention to detail, it features a semi-hollow chambered body with a carved top, a set neck, and a pair of dual humbuckers, delivering a rich, warm tone with plenty of sustain—a setup famous for inspiring jazz-fusion legend Robben Ford. Dressed in a rich Autumn Burst finish, the warm amber and deep tobacco tones highlight the wood grain to give it a timeless vintage elegance. Whether you are looking for smooth jazz warmth, gritty blues bite, or a unique piece of 1980s Fender history, the Esprit offers exceptional craftsmanship and tone that punches far above its weight class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Early 1980s Fender Japan Esprit Standard Electric Guitar is in Very Good condition, part of a climate-controlled collection, with light visible wear (pictured) consistent with 40+ year age and appropriate use.
