wow. i'm excited.

i got a guy to build me an Esquire. he's building it from scratch, makes his own bodies and all!. it's going to be Gretsch Orange with a single layer white pickguard, a broadcaster PUP and a rosewood fretboard. as soon as i get it, it's off to have a B-Bender installed. i got the pics of the finished neck and body today!! I feel like a little kid on Christmas eve!
