How's the 10K pup sound in that Esquire?
What kind of amp do you play it through?
Thanks!

My LPB Esquire

This is an unfinished picture but she's all done now. Has a Lil' 59. I'm learning to do the set up on the 3 saddle bridge ( compensated saddles ). I need a good tuner...

My third & likely final contribution (one each year!) to this amazing thread.

This one's another Creston toploader, but more traditional than my P90/mahogany Creston. Between this guitar, my other 2 Esquires & a Tele, I haven't had GAS in over a year.

Holy Moley! This thread started 6 months after I joined the TDPRI looking to build/buy a Telecaster. This thread got me started thinking Esquire instead of Tele, and I have built a partsquire, re-bodied it, and swapped/re-swapped the pickup without ever posting here. Time to fix that. As it sits now, it's a GFS "Warm Butterscotch" Ash body (probably 5 pieces, claimed body weight: 5-5 1/2 lbs.) with a lefty large headstock Strat neck, Sperzel tuners, Wilkinson bridge, GFS 7K Fatbody pickup, wired with vol and tone only. It's the only guitar where I made the nut and did the setup myself, so it's not perfect, but I can't keep my hands off it.

My but that's a seriously fine guitar; mmm...my goodness.

Heavily modified 2005 MIM Classic Series Fender Esquire. Since this picture was taken in April 2010, I’ve changed the pickup to a Rumpelstiltskin 1950 Black-rope wound at 11 K and, using another custom control plate from Guitarfetish.com (actually their eBay store), I took out the tone control. So now the Esquire only has a single volume knob. Sounds great! The Bigsby B5 was modified to the boards.ie specs. Fender DRRI in the background.
