1950 Fender Esquire:
* 講完Broadcaster就要講翻Esquire. 好多人以為Broadcaster就係Tele既第一代, 但其實之前仲有Esquire.
* 大家千其唔好搞亂1950年Esquire同出完Broadcaster之後1951年重新推出既Esquire. 1950年Esquire係早過Broadcaster出. 而且因爲太早既關係, 1950 Esquire係多數都無truss rod.
* 係人都知Leo Fender雖然造結他, 但佢自己係唔識彈結他. 所以佢唔知truss rod有幾重要. 相傳有人搵佢話佢聽要用truss rod, 如果唔係條頸會彎. Leo Fender聽到就浪起左條頸, 佢企係上面跳左幾下, 仲話: 睇下!乜事都冇!不過好快佢就知真係要加翻truss rod.
* Esquire最特別既係得一個pickup, 但一樣有3 way selector. 3 was selector既neck position就係dark circuit, d聲就好似你講野比人come著左個口咁. Middle position係bridge pickup連去volume+tone. 最後bridge position就係bridge pickup + volume only. 所以esquire既bridge position比一般而家既tele bridge position更加twangy, high方面更加穿透力高.
* 之後50年短暫出過2 pickups Esquire, 而呢款2 pickups Esquire好快就變成Broadcaster.
* 不過一開頭既Esquire有時既body wood同color都同之後既Broadcaster唔同, 要去到Broadcaster成功後, Esquire先參照翻Broadcaster既wood/color combination去重新推出. 而且50年Esqiure十分罕見
