Ah bollox, ordered the neck from Warmoth :lol:
Reverse Tele headstock
Maple neck, maple fretboard
42.8 mm nut width
Standard thin profile
6105 frets - stainless steel
22 frets
11.5" Radius
No Inlays
Black TUSQ XL nut
Clear Satin finish
25.5"
Presumably that's a custom order then? I've never seen an 11.5" radius in the showcase (or anywhere else for that matter!)
I would go custom, but I like the '59 Roundback profile and I really resent paying $35 extra when it's no extra cost in the showcase! :x :roll:
Yea, it will take a little while to make it as it was custom (8-10 wks) but may as wait and get exactly what I want. I got the 11.5 radius 'cause that's really close to my Vigiers.
Including shipping it cost me 230. Considering it has SS frets, a finish and a nut I reckon that's pretty good. Although, I had to pay a $25 up-charge because I didn't want the neck butt pre drilled, seems a bit backwards to me!
I'm not sure about the reverse tele headstock and the small bridge, but if you like go for it!!!!
Beside it sounds very nice! I like Esquire, has that direct-almost-punk approach that I really enjoy!
I haven't played for a while, but as ar as remember it was easy to get a Motörhead tone with the Piledriver, direct with the amp (Plexi)... I imagine with high gain amp or some booster or distortion pedal you can get really brutal, like this video:

Ah, sounds promising! I like small headstocks and hate the Tele ash tray bridge.
the idea i got was 25" scale and 24 frets - it made a lot of sense to compromise on that!! - as a scratch build it could work but not as a parts project
it all looks very, very nice
i think i am also being sucked into the forum mass consciousness tele love.... maybe thats why roo hasnt been around much, he started to feel it too - and felt dirty ;)
Yea, USACG would do that spec but it would come to just over $500!! So I compromised!
I've never used Glendale hardware before, hope it lives up to the hype.
