Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.

It's beloved by countless top artists, including Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Yngwie Malmsteen. (Titles omitted)

This model is Robben Ford's signature ES-RF.

It's based on the Esprit model, which Fender produced for a very short time.

Although this electric guitar was released by Fender, it features Gibson-like specifications, including an archtop, set neck joint, and medium scale.

The serial number indicates it's "MADE IN JAPAN," so it was highly acclaimed during this period.

It was manufactured by Fujigen, a long-established Japanese manufacturer.

The body back is made of alder and the top is made of spruce.

The alder back is chambered, giving it a sound that combines a moderate resonance with a tight tone.

With a sound that lies somewhere between a solid-body guitar and an acoustic, this guitar is suitable for a variety of genres.

The neck is maple and the fingerboard is ebony.

It has a gorgeous look, with original inlays on the fingerboard and headstock, and binding on the body, neck, and headstock.

It is equipped with two original humbucking pickups.

Combined with its semi-hollow construction, it produces a distinctive sweet and fat sound.

The controls include the TBX control and coil tap switch found on Eric Clapton models, among others.

This allows for a wide range of sound creation that you wouldn't expect from a single guitar.

This guitar was featured on the cover of Eric Clapton's 1988 album, Talk to Your Daughter, making it a must-have for fans.

Don't miss this opportunity!

Approximately 70% of the frets remain.

The truss rod is a little stiff, but has been confirmed to move about 90 degrees.

The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish are in good condition. There are scratches on the back of the body, dents near the back body side contour and near the jack, a scratch near the first fret on the neck near the sixth string, and some playing marks near the pickup. The gold parts are tarnished, and the plastic parts have scratches. The scratches are more noticeable due to the black headstock.

The bridge has been replaced with a T.O.M. type, and the strap pin has been replaced with a Schaller-type locking pin.
