Fender Esquire Custom Scorpion Electric Guitar (Rosewood) Reviews
9 out of 10
"Killer Guitar with a big Stinger."
Feature:
Simplicity is the key here, less is good. No cumbersome Trem system, no annoying locking nut. No useless tone controls. The quality of the guitar is outstanding it almost reminded me of a high end Gibson with the contoured body and binding. The paint is a mirror finish jet black and all hardware is matt black which I think sets this guitar off. Strings pass through the back of the body which I like a lot. The Scorpion inlay is a nice touch too.
Quality:
Like I said before it looks and feels like a high end Gibson. I just can't fault it.
Value:
For the money I can't see anything beating it.
Desirability:
This guitar looks totaly Killer and has the "Sting" to back it up.
Sound:
Cranked up through a Marshall amp the sound is simply awesome. The pickup has a nice edge sound to it crisp on the attack and smooth all the way. I was very impressed with the sustain but that's more to do with the guitar. I wouldn't see any need to swap out this pickup. On the clean channel it had a well rounded sound.
Support:
The guitar is flawless .. so who cares.
Overall:
I expect this guitar wil meet most of my requirements. I may have to supplement this guitar if the need for a whammy bar is to great and / or a need for a neck pickup. My experience is however, you tend to use the back pickup most of the time. The upside of not having the whammy bar is that the guitar will tune and sustain better and be more reliable.

Fender Esquire Custom Scorpion Electric Guitar (Rosewood) Customer Review
Feature:
MAterials are high quality. THere's only one volume knob and that's it. Some players may want more features.
Quality:
The quality is really good. The finish is one of the best features. I think this guitar is one of the slickest looking guitars, especially for the price.
Value:
For the price, there isn't a better guitar.
Sound:
This is a raw guitar with an edge. It's no mess to the point sound is easy to work with. It's also a lound guitar that was made to push the pedal to the metal. I dig it. And the clean sound is pretty good but not as full as a tele or strat.
Overall:
This is the axe to use for rock/metal balls music. Because this special edition guitar isn't made anymore, this is even more valuable. I'd be depressed if this was stolen or lost.
