Squier Classic Vibe Custom Esquire LRL FB - Candy Apple Red

Inspired by the rare double-bound Esquire® models of the late ’50s and ’60s, the Classic Vibe™ Custom Esquire delivers timeless style and bold tone. At its heart is a Fender-Designed™ alnico single-coil bridge pickup, offering crisp, expressive sound with vintage character. Its standout feature—a 3-position blade switch—unlocks a range of tonal options, from raw and unfiltered to mellow and warm, thanks to clever circuit design that includes a tone bypass and pre-set capacitor.

Complete with period-correct headstock markings, a vintage-tinted gloss neck, and eye-catching nickel-plated hardware, this Squier® model is a stylish throwback packed with personality and classic feel.
