1985 Fender MIJ – Esprit Standard – ID 4860

A real insider tip from the Fender Japan era! The Esprit Standard was built in the 80s as part of the Fender Master Series and was a high-quality alternative to the classic semi-hollow and single-cut models. Made in Japan with first-class craftsmanship, it offers a unique mix of vintage tone and modern handling. No wonder that this model was later used as the basis for Robben Ford's signature guitar!
