Hey TDPRI!
Long time creeper, first time poster here.
Thanks to the support and information on this website I was recently able to finish my custom Esquire.

(Hopefully that picture works)
The body was done by Warmoth (poplar and flame maple) and the neck is from a Blacktop Tele which I also pulled apart for the wiring.* The pickups a Fender Noiseless and all the extra hardware is from Warmoth. I did the stain, finish and soldering myself which is why I still have grounding issues (if anyone could help that'd be great).
*NOTE* for some reason, a Blacktop 3-way switch did not work with the esquire wiring. I don't know if the switch was bad or what but I had to solder a wire from 1 to 8 to get any sound, prior to that I was getting sound in between 2-3
Let me know what you think!
