More goodness from Japan - Fender's Original Canvas Esquire. This one is along the lines of the 70th Anniversary Esquire, a single pickup guitar with a 3-way selector doing exactly what the Anniversary version does. However, expect some tonal differences in light of the different body material (ash), rosewood fretboard & Fender's own American Vintage '58 pickup. Also, there's no cavity for a neck pickup as seen above.
I've talked to people pertaining to the 70th Anniversary Esquire, they said the maple fretboard isn't their thing. So with this Japanese Canvas model, you get the rosewood fretboard version but a gentle reminder here - it's not the only difference between the guitars. If you are expecting the Anniversary Esquire in another guise, it might disappoint you. Between the Anniversary & this Canvas, there's about $1,350 difference which can easily get you a good tube amp. Some considerations there, agree?

Always loved the look of the esquire and maybe would love to have this in the arsenal. Wish they included the pickguard too tho
It won't be too difficult to instal one 👌🏽
