Fender Esquire Owner'S Manual Download Page 15

When you first get your guitar, don’t be alarmed 
if the playing action is no longer set to exact 
factory specs. It is natural for a guitar’s setup to 
change due to the factors just listed. Your guitar 
is designed to include many adjustment points 
that allow you to compensate for changes that 
might have taken place after final assembly but 
before you received it, or to simply customize the 
instrument to fit your personal preferred playing 
style. If the action is higher or lower than you 
prefer, for example, this manual describes how to 
set up, adjust and maintain your guitar so that its 
playing condition is optimal for you. Of course,  
 

if you’d rather not adjust it yourself, you can 
always take your guitar to an Authorized 
Fender Service Center for help.

Initial standard setup and adjustment of an 
instrument and its parts at time of purchase are 
considered normal dealer product preparation 
and are not covered by the Fender warranty. 
On receipt and acceptance of the instrument, 
the consumer assumes all responsibility 
for setup, adjustment and maintenance.
