Fender Esquire 1951 ex Steve Lukather

Long regarded as a cornerstone of Steve Lukather’s personal collection, this 1951 Fender Esquire stands as a major sonic artefact. Acquired by the Steve Lukather in 1979, it quickly became one of his go-to studio tools, leaving its mark on nearly all of the band’s historic albums. Its distinctive tone can notably be heard on the cult record Toto IV (1982), particularly on the track “We Made It.” Beyond the Toto legacy, this instrument was used across numerous prestigious sessions, accompanying artists such as Dolly Parton in the 1970s and Ringo Starr on his 2021 single “Let’s Change the World.” Cherished and played by Lukather for decades, this Esquire combines exceptional tonal qualities with a remarkable historical journey, making it a truly unique collector’s piece.
