NGD!!! 50th Birthday Present to Myself

[57joonya]

Really nice lookin esquire , enjoy it

Ever since I knew anything about guitars, I've had a crush on mid-50's blond, white guard Esquires. I've wanted one forever, but I don't have $25K burning a hole in my wallet. So over the summer, I took stock of the assorted parts I had lying around and decided to treat myself to a 50th birthday present (birthday in Nov). I contacted MJT Guitars and started a project. Well, it arrived today...and it's incredible!!! Modern neck, SD Little 59 pickup...but it is sooooo awesome feeling and sounding.
I know relics are a love/hate around here, and I myself would much rather my guitars "age" naturally. But knowing I'll never own an original 50's Esquire, I'm totally down with this.
I'm in love, guys!!!

Looks like you had a happy birthday! Congrats!

Funny, I'm also building a dream Esquire for my 50th birthday present to myself. Granted, I don't turn 50 for another couple years, but hopefully it will be done by then. lol

Congrats to you, it's a beauty, even if it didn't cost $25,000.

 

[P Thought]

That's a beauty, wear it out!

 

[StratDal]

Esquires Rock! Cheers!

Happy birthday though ! I can't wait to see what you will buy for the 60th, and 70th birthday !
