No serial number ?

And picture of the back of the peg head and the other end of the neck, the back. Picture of pots will give lots of information ; number printed on

This will help

No, I didn't take a pic of the back of the neck or the base because there was no serial or nothing there. FOR SURE NOT AN ORIGINAL! and the decail on the head looks strange too... also the controls are the other way around than a normal tele. So I have no idea if its a mutt or what?

AFAIK Esquires only have one PUP, not two. So either the decal has been changed, the neck swapped out, or another pup was added. Either way, she has ben modified.

And please have someone string that guitar up properly.

When the Esquire first came out, it was one pickup. Fender then built a very short lived version of the Esquire with two pickups. Neither version at first had a neck truss rid. Fender stopped production of both and introduced the Broadcaster with a truss rod and brought out a single pickup Esquire with a truss rod. We all know what happened next with the Broadcaster. Since that time, Esquires have only been single pickups. Lots has been written about all this.

Thank' s bluesky636, I understand that 2 pu Esquire is a very very short production very long time ago.

In this case ; a false neck with ebay decal ? or a real Esquire neck ?

One way or the other, looks to me like you got a Frankenstein Tele there. But what the hey?? Does it sound and play good?? If it does, then enjoy it!!
