Jerry, that is sharp! How does it play/sound/etc.? Did you do the finish yourself? Give us some details.

No, its an early 80's 52 reissue body, and a Warmoth birdseye boatneck....I did the finish on the neck about 10 years ago....I'm an esquire freak, had to make the change. the guitar really came alive. I had to refinish the headstock to put on the esquire decal..It's got a Duncan Antiquity 50's flatpole, sounds and plays awesome..It's got to be my fav..I've had the guitar for about 15+ years. its been sittin alot lately, so I said why not..best move I've made in a long time.. thanks, Jerry

Sorry jlctele56, but... what is that strange system behind the bridge plate? I've seen nothing like this before. Is it some kind of string-bender?

I thank it's very nice....almost looks like a matching headstock.

Hey Dan, that is a Hipshot B-bender system, it also has a palm lever G-bender, and a Drop D lever... I love it.. this is a better pic of color.... Jerry[img]
