REAL men step up! No tele, just esquire...

tjalla · December 2nd, 2007, 06:48 PM

Yes, I'm being facetious with the title post but the "Why an esquire" thread has got me wondering if anyone here has an esquire as their only tele-style guitar. I tried for a few weeks but girly-ran back to the neck pickup.

Extra man-points if your esquire is your only guitar.

Anyone?

This was my only guitar for about a year. I've played many, many gigs with it. It's now retired. I guess I USED to be a real man!

JohnnyCrash · December 2nd, 2007, 06:54 PM

I've got two Esquires and three Teles.

They're all good.

Although, I completely see the point of Esquires :)

But now you've had work done?

Nice pic, and cool control plate!

I will be joing the ranks in a few weeks....that is if I have no more nitro misadventures.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I have one Esquire type guitar and 3 Tele type guitars. I guess I'm just a girly man.

BritishBluesBoy · December 2nd, 2007, 07:54 PM

I must be a total girly man then...

5 Telecasters
1 Stratocaster
1 335
1 Peavey T60
2 Acoustics
1 Bass

Oh, and I eat quiche too...

MulliganChebichev · December 2nd, 2007, 08:03 PM

tjalla · December 2nd, 2007, 08:11 PM

MulliganChebichev - must... resist... retort.

dimenjj · December 2nd, 2007, 08:14 PM

Pete Galati · December 2nd, 2007, 08:39 PM

Well, this is the only guitar I played today anyhow:

Used to be a Tele though. Sort of. In a partscaster sort of way.

crawdad · December 2nd, 2007, 08:45 PM

I have an Esquire, but I'm also in touch with my Telecaster side.

odiemann · December 2nd, 2007, 09:17 PM

Or Lance Armstrong, he only has one pickup, too.

ROADMAN · December 2nd, 2007, 09:26 PM

No claim to fame here.

Yes I played the Esquire the longest today, but.

I played not just a Telecaster but also a Stratocaster.

And on a Sunday, if you can imagine. The shame of it.

Don't know about the "real man" thing but since I sold off my Tele all I have is my Esquire and few other types of guitars. The Esquire ain't going nowhere, I love that thing, but I do see myself getting another Tele.

BellyBoy · December 2nd, 2007, 10:58 PM

What does the 3 way switch do on an esquire?
