I previously posted this on another thread, but what the heck.

Just turned my BSB Squier into an Esquire. Nice guitar this with a bright 8K bridge pickup. What inspired me was the neck pickup packing up, it is still due for wiring up, and I think I'm going to use Ole Fuzzys straight to jack/volume only/volume and tone mod

TheDev01dOne · January 14th, 2009, 01:42 PM

Just made this on Kisekae, felt like sharing..

Supposed to be a match to my Hendrix/David Gilmour strap. I like the idea of an opposite slanted pickup, couldn't quite figure out how to do it properly and now I know how I've closed the window so I can't fix it but you get the idea.. Body mounted, all aged hardware and a medium relic with a leather/suede pickguard (the same material the strap is made from) I like it anyway, was fun to make.

Okie, if you show that esquire one more time, I'm coming to Oklahoma to punch you in the brain!!!

You know I love it yet you continue to taunt and tease me. Why? I truly love the look of that damn esquire. I'm going to make one just like it and then I'm going to make one with just the two knobs, no control plate and no switch. Oh....you make me so mad and envious!

In all seriousness, i love that thing. I really really love it. It's very close the the Carbonita. My favorite esquire is yours. It's just so sweet. Man....
Wait now...wasn't there somebody else who had a white one along the same lines? Can't remember for the life of me who it was???????

straightface · January 14th, 2009, 03:46 PM

USACG body
MIJ 50's telecaster neck
SD Broadcaster
Eldred mod

My new favorite guitar.

okie · January 14th, 2009, 03:56 PM

Thanks man, I'll even let you play it after you punch me out!

Here's the white one, a Ron Kirn build:

okie that guitar is making want to rob a gas station!

hugo · January 15th, 2009, 12:33 AM

Okie, it seems you and I have the same idea when it comes to the look of our guitars. I love it too but I love the first one more. I would like to have the same one as the second pic u posted but without the pickguard or without the control plate. Ala plain for me. I love both of those guitars. So, you need to get a third one without the pickguard and without the control plate and switch. Then your stable will be complete. I'm jealous but in a nice way.

flt101 · January 15th, 2009, 12:40 AM

hugo,, you got the right idea,, i think john english topped it off,, and was very sorry to see him go so fast

hugo · January 15th, 2009, 12:55 AM

flt101, who is john english and where did he go??

mikef1331 · January 15th, 2009, 01:06 AM

It put this one together a little while back. Ash body, large u shaped neck, Fralin high output bridge pu. Fun guitar to play.

WisconsinStrings · January 15th, 2009, 01:19 AM

I just finished it a couple weeks ago.

There's a thread about it here

http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home...e-esquire.html

flt101 · January 15th, 2009, 01:26 AM

ouch!! to me, and maybe a few others. was one of the best masterbuilders fender staffed in the custom shop, i've been in contact with his daughter since his passing a few years back, to me jt english was the finest fender offered,, god bless

hugo · January 15th, 2009, 07:10 AM

Wisconsinstrings, that is a really beautiful guitar. I love wood, it's so warming and comfortable. Nice job. I'll check that thread out again. How did you enjoy building it and what did you enjoy the most and what did you dislike the most?
flt101, thanks for telling me who he was. Sorry you lost a friend. Nice to see that you're in contact with his daughter. I'll look into his bio just so I know a little more about him. Hope you're okay buddy?

bobthecanadian · January 15th, 2009, 07:56 AM

That's really interesting, and very different, I like it.

lewis · January 15th, 2009, 11:54 AM

It's been posted before, sorry for the repeat.

Schecter body, Jimmy Vaughan neck, Voodoo '60s pickup, Glendale saddles. The neck was purchased for a separate project, I got the body for a price I couldn't pass up. It all came together as a very successful accident.
It's my "go to" guitar at the moment.
