Highway 1 to Esquire (questions)

fungusyoung · December 24th, 2005, 07:55 AM

I'm thinking of doing a simple conversion of my Highway 1 to an Esquire... some questions:

- If the neck pup is removed, how will this impact the tone as it stands now when I'm only playing through the bridge pup?

- Anyone know where I could find a white or white pearloid pickguard with 8 screws?

- Switching: What are my options?

- Anything else I need to or should consider? Think I'm gonna go with the original pup for starters since I love the twangy sound of the bridge pup in this now.

As always, thanks.... and happy holidays to all!!!!!

1st thing I have always noticed is the increase in harmonics all over the neck.

There are lots of places to find pguards.

Ebay Warmoth WD Callaham and many more.
