[quote="Rafael Marín":udkqz857]Me parece un mástil horrible........... feo feo feo, de verdad....... :periódico:[/quote:udkqz857]
Referente a esto tengo mis reparos, al igual que tu rafa, no me gusta el arce de ojo de pájaro para el mástil
.
Creo definitivamente que esta replica de la CS, que históricamente reproduce la que se presento en la feria de la NAMM de 1950, tiene ciertas diferencias en cuanto al arce del mástil a las que comercializaron entre Junio y hasta Octubre del mismo año 1950, cuando salio del mercado para re aparecer en 1951.
Me da idea mirando las fotos, que el ojo de pájaro se ocupo exclusivamente para la que presentaron a la NAMM, y las que comercializaron en este periodo tienen su mástil hecho en arce solidó de una sola pieza sin ojo de pájaro, flameado, ni nada parecido.
Este patrón para presentaciones de sus nuevos productos en Ferias y eso, es una política a la cual Fender solía recurrir (no se ahora si es así), pero siempre se trataba de modelos en cierta formas especiales y que se diferenciaban a los que mas tarde salían al mercado “Común”.
De todas formas, sea como sea, el ojo de pájaro no me gusta para nada, no lo encuentro bonito para Teles.
Referente a esto, encontre esta información que me parece pertinente compartir con ustedes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]Spring 1950 to late summer 1950 NAMM Esquire Introduction specs: [/b:udkqz857]
1 or 2 pickups, but the one pickup "Single Esquire" appeared first, followed by the two pickup "Double Esquire".
Black laminated Pine body on first few Single Esquire examples, then changed to butterscotch blond on an Ash body during the summer of 1950.
Maple one piece neck with no truss rod on early examples, but a truss rod appeared on some late summer 1950 Esquires.
Serial number on bridge plate (earliest documented number 0013).
Steel bridge saddles on non-truss rod models, or brass on later models.
Steel brige pickup grounding plate with two wire notches in the pickup's black base.
Silver or gold "spaghetti" Fender peghead logo with black trim.
No string tree.
White pickguard on black Equires, black vulcanized fiber (often called "bakelite") pickguard (clear coated with lacquer) on blond bodies.
Round Dakaware switch tip with "Pat Pend".
Often the rear string ferrels are not aligned.
Some models use a maple plug (instead of walnut) on the peghead for the truss rod.
Peghead truss rod plug is more rounded.
Body date in neck pocket, usually no neck date.
Knurled chrome plated brass knobs with a semi-flat top.
Two patent number 3-way switch CRL 1452 (2291516, 2291517).

All screws have slot heads (including the truss rod adjuster).
Brown rectangle Cornell Dubilier paper tone capacitor and brown tube paper tone caps used, plus a single carbon resistor (on two pickup models).
Kluson Deluxe tuners with "Kluson Deluxe" in a single vertical line (aka "single line"), no second hole on side of gear shell (for the tuner peg), "pat. appld." on side bottom side of gear shell and "pat appld 2356766" on tuner bottom.
Milled chrome plated brass jack cup with ribbing on sides to hold jack inside the body hole - no other attachment method used.
A guess is that about 60 pre-1951 Esquires were made.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]Fall 1950 discontinued and replaced by the Broadcaster. No Esquires made from late September 1950 to January 1951. [/b:udkqz857]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]January 1951 Esquire re-introduction specs (same specs as above, except): [/b:udkqz857]
Single pickup (though a dual pickup 1/51 Esquire has been seen).
Butterscotch Blond finish on ash body.
Round button string tree.
Brass bridge saddles.
Brass brige pickup grounding plate.
Single flat pole pickup in treble position.
Silver or gold (but most were gold) Fender "spaghetti" peghead logo with black trim.
Lead pickup wrapped with white string, and then the pickup is potted in wax (often making the white string look black).
Kluson Deluxe tuners with NO "Kluson Deluxe" in a single vertical line (aka "no line"), no second hole on side of gear shell (for the tuner peg), NO "pat. appl" on side bottom side of gear shell (moved to underside of tuner base).
"D" stamp often seen in the neck pocket and/or neck heel of 1951 to 1954 Esquires.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]1952 Esquire specs: [/b:udkqz857]
Gradual use of phillips head screws replaces slot head screws (this change was not complete till 1953).
Kluson Deluxe tuners with NO "Kluson Deluxe" in a single vertical line (aka "no line"), ADDED second hole on side of gear shell (for the tuner peg).
Knurled chrome plated brass knobs with a round top.
Lead pickup no longer has the two wire notches in the black pickup base.
By late 1952 a pressed jack cup replaced milled jack cup. An added internal metal plate is used inside the body jack hole to secure milled cup.
Walnut peghead truss rod plug is more oval shaped.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]1953 Esquire specs: [/b:udkqz857]
Neck fingerboard dots change spacing. On pre-1953 models, dots are about 1" (center to center) apart at the 12th fret. On 1953 and later models, the dot spacing is about 1 1/8" center to center.
Again silver or gold Fender "spaghetti" peghead logo with black trim, (but most seem to be gold).
Flat-side ("poodle") guitar-shaped cases used during 1953.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]Mid 1954 Esquire specs: [/b:udkqz857]
Serial number on neck plate.
Blond body finish has a more whitish look than the earlier "butterscotch" finish. In reality, the body finish was probably applied no differently, but the type of clear lacquer used to clearcoat does not yellow as much This gives mid-1954 and later Teles a more whitish blond look, instead of butterscotch. Because of the more whitish look, a distinct "halo" can be seen around the edge of the body that is less translucent (this halo was present on the earlier butterscotch finishes, but it was far less noticable).
The halo was used to hide the side grain of multi-piece bodies, because Fender could easily match the face grain, but it was difficult to match the side grain.
White single layer ABS pickguard .060" thick replaces black pickguard.
Bridge saddles change from brass to small steel smooth saddles with rough finished ends. Also the angle of the string height screws changed to be about 45 degrees.
Daka-Ware "Top Hat" style switch tip starts to be used instead of the round tip.
"D" neck/body stamp is largely not seen after 1954 (except on an occassional neck up 1957).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]Mid 1955 Esquire specs: [/b:udkqz857]

String tree moved closer to the nut, roughly in alignment with the A-string tuning "Single Line" Kluson Deluxe tuners (which says "Kluson Deluxe" in a vertical line).
Peghead decal position changes to between the nut and the string tree (rather than next to the G-string tuning post).
Neck backshape gets a large "soft V" shape.
Metal control knobs change from a chrome plated brass course knurl rounded top design, to a fine knurl flat top pot-metal knob.

Veneer Rosewood fingerboard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b:udkqz857]Late 1962 Esquire specs:[/b:udkqz857]
Neck pocket no longer entirely painted. Instead a "paint stick" (a piece of wire conduit hammered flat) is used to hold the body during the painting process. This leaves a bare area on the bass side of the neck pocket with no paint.
Last of the drilled top loading bridges used up.

Suerte
Parece lógico pues que solo salieran acabadas en negro, si la pretensión es reeditar aquellas primeras fielmente, no?
. Si la venden como replica, que sea exacta y fiel a la original y no la promuevan con esa publicidad si sabemos tiene algunas diferencias, por muy mínimas que sean.
.
y que conste en acta que no soy ningún bujarrón ein???
