The Fender Brad Paisley Esquire is a signature guitar built on the Esquire platform, Fenders original single-pickup solid-body design that preceded the two-pickup Telecaster, reworked to Paisleys specification for the fast, chicken-picking-heavy country lead style that defines his playing. Signature Esquires of this kind typically add modern refinements such as improved intonation and updated electronics to the vintage single-pickup format while retaining its simplicity. It suits country and Telecaster-style players wanting Paisleys specific setup.
The Ibanez SLM10 is Scott LePage's signature AZ series electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features a quilted maple top over American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 22 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width provide a comfortable, modern playing platform. A custom DiMarzio IGNO humbucker bridges with DiMarzio True Velvet single-coils in the neck and middle positions, enabling excellent sustain and flexible tonal range from clean to crunchy tones. The five-way pickup selector switch accesses at least five distinct pickup combinations with a T1502 synchronized tremolo and Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
