NGD! Finally..
« on: October 14, 2008, 07:53:41 AM »
Well after a long troublesome eBay transaction my new guitar finally arrived yesterday and it's as awesome as I expected it to be. Sounds and plays great, is kinda beat up which I was expecting anyway, don't really like new guitars as I tend to baby them instead of playing them. Looks good with the rest of the collection..

It's the CAR '62 reissue Esquire. MIJ 1985... Also in the pic L-R.. MIJ '54 reissue Esquire from '86.. My hot-rod partscaster Esquire.. and laying down is my heavily modded Squier Standard Tele (BKP Yardbirds in that one)

Hope you like..

Most excellent! (Roo, where are yer?)  :D

How do you find the reverse control plates?  Does the switch get in the way of the tone control, or do you not use it much (since they're mostly Esquires)?

Hi Wez, the black one in the middle is the one that I emailed you about the new nut and stuff fixing..

Yeah I don't really use the tone controls on the fly, I usually find where I like it and leave it there and then switch between the bypass and middle positions for rhythm lead sounds. Unless I want that voodoo chile switch flicking wah wah kinda sound when I'll just use the tone control for that and then put it back up full.

I like the volue knob closer and the switch is easy enough to use no matter where it is so they work pretty good but I can live with the either way.

Nice guitars!!! Makes me wish a Esquire :oops:

Don't mind Roo, if the guitar is not gay oriented, he doesn't like it... We shall respect him for his ütter corage to face the conservative world and try to brake it! And he doesn't even live in Amsterdam :twisted:
Go Roo! :lol:

Hahaha FE ;)

Just because you don't like being told that you look gay when you play a telecaster, don't go turning that around, now ;)

:D

But seriously, what is wrong with you people?
