Well, I've wanted an Esquire for a while. With the Big Four-OHG! (40) fast approaching I pulled the trigger back in November for a Custom Shop Seymour Duncan Esquire. She arrived yesterday. Gorgeous guitar! Nice grain in the single piece ash body. Tone clean on all strings and the bass is surprising deep and throaty for a bridge pup. Thin nitro finish. Technically a two-tone, but in direct sunlight there is a hint of burgundy to the edge of the black. Frankly, I couldn't be happier. I found my axe! Oh, and also of interest: every screw on it is the old standard slotted, not phillips.
