I really like the crazy finishes. That esquire is definitely the nicest of the bunch but the rest rock too.

Man, I love it, that sure gives me ideas how I might paint one I'm building unconventionally. You're a trailblazer, that's sweet.

Prairie Belt, is that a Silvertone with a ROUND speaker hole? I've never seen that. or I could be going blind! (This is my first post. This site drives me wild!)

I'm so thrilled with this that I've bragged about it in multiple threads already. But, it fits in here too...

Alright. First Esquire build - not yet finished, but figured I'd post it just the same. Pickup at this stage is a CS '52 that i had lying around, but looking at other options - Nocaster, SD Broadcaster or BG1400, HD Super 90 - any suggestions are most welcome!

I don't know what it is about black Esquires, but man, they look great. I should probably eventually get one.

Jim Barth · February 7th, 2009, 06:59 PM

52' Esquire.

Mark N · February 7th, 2009, 08:11 PM

Prarie, your Esquire looks just like mine! Nice choice on the blackguard!
