Very nice - especially the Esquire.

Now please tell us something about the individual parts you used on these beauties.

oops, i almost forgot to to mention what parts i used ;)

the 70's telecaster features:
-77 neck and tuners
-76 6 way bridge
-77 neck plate
-MIM body (yeah, i know, wrong shape)
-bacchus bridge pickup
-MIM neck pickup
-aftermarket controls

the esquire features:
-82 tokai breezysound neck
-82 fender jv body
-73 bridge pickup
-73 bridge
-compensated saddles
-all 76 screws, switch, knobs
-73 control plate
-69 neck plate

i think that's about it. they both play very well, the 77 neck seemed dead on another body but now it's twangin'.
the esquire is a workhorse, i can tune the neck up to a G and it won't twist. light as well. and i just love the looks of an esquire :)
