As a newby on the forum and new to the Esquire concept, I'm fascinated with the simplicity and the looks of the the Esquire. Judging by all the cool member pics of their Esquire projects it seems to be pretty popular, alive & well! I've poked around looking at the different wiring diagrams and it made me wonder about the advantage/disadvantages between a 2 pup tele & Esquire.

Since I don't have one handy to play, I would like to have an Esquire owner sonically define the following:

1. Which Esquire wiring diagram offers the biggest variety of tone & useability/practicality in your opinion? Is one better than another?
2. describe what what I can expect to hear with each of the 3 positions of a Esquire to sound like... (comparing it perhaps to the sounds I am familiar with with a typical 2 pup/3 position set up.)
3. Any sonic advantages/disadvantages with the Esquire setup compared to a 2 pup tele?

Just trying to get a better sense between the two...
