I love it.....and as for tone and basswood, it sounds better than ever..

Hey - just curious why the middle pickup but no neck one?.

.

Really Nice...

Just curious, What kind of steel are you using brianF?

That is very sharp. Looks like a meticulous job. Brian, I have a guitar that's crying out for one of these...I notice it's not the hipshot model....more of the PW style? Looks like aircraft quality!!

I'm an esquire freak......I never use a neck pickup.....mostly the bridge.. but do like the the Nashville tele or strat #2 position for different rhythm and finger picking applications.....so this way its still an esquire, in look...with the added tones I love. its funny, I've done this for years.....but at a recent CMA awards show, Brad Paisley had the same setup on one of his Crook guitars......kept tellin everyone he got the idea from me....ha Jerry

Brian uses a Parsons White style bender made by Bill Bores. If I ever go back to a shoulder style bender, he will be my first choice. His work is flawless and he's a great guy to deal with!
