Glad you like your combo.
I also toy the idea of making an esquire with the RT, but would like to try coupling it with SPC mid controller in place of the tone knob. How do you use yours? Tone and volume no switcht? Or any tricks?

I just have my esquire set up with the RT, volume and tone knob, no 3-way switch. Sounds fantastic clean or dirty, and the tone knob is more subtle than what I'm used to with passive pickups, but probably more useful now for taking off treble edge when needed.
My other tele I set up with the ceramic EMG's (EMG-RTC & EMG-FTC), and I'm really digging those too. Not near as much difference between the ceramic and alnico as you might think, but alot of that's probably because they're in guitars with diff body woods, neck thicknesses, saddles, etc.
I've found some great deals on dirt pedals in the past week, but haven't pulled the trigger because my rig sounds so good clean, and my Boss DS-1 sounds even better with EMG's going into it. Hard to justify spending $ when I'm happy with my clean AND dirty sounds...
