This is one of the first guitars off the assembly line of this new Master Series. At first glance this guitar looks like anything but a Fender, but those familiar with Robben Ford’s music will recognize it immediately. Early on Robben used these guitars before Fender started producing it as the Robben Ford Signature Model and later on a Baker version continued. These are becoming harder to find and make great guitars for blues or jazz. 

The Esprit’s body is slightly larger than the Flame’s, and features two symmetrical cutaways. As with the Flame, two special-design Schaller humbuckers were employed in conjunction with the fine-tuning tailpiece. This instrument was intended as an alternative to the Gibson ES-335.
