Esquire Project - Which of these 3 BKP vintage output pu's?

[Mr. Air]

That's some very nice looking guitars, Dave!

I wish I could afford a tele (and that my girl would let me buy one  :oops:)

I would like to get another Tele purely to get a set of Blaggards. I love the sound of my Tele (with the C Boys) and wouldn't change it. Cranked up through my VC30 she sounds brilliant  :)

Wow, so you really do love Esquires. Sorry about the Custom Shop comment, not really trying to stir up trouble, maybe it's just because I also tried a lot of boutique guitars that are quite hard to connect with and downright disappointing for what their price.

Hey, no problem matey.  Opinions are like assholes, we all have them!

If you've not tried a CS Fender, you should give one a go if you get the chance  :)

I've managed to try some CS fenders, Groshes, Tylers, Suhrs, etc. since there is a shop here that sells boutique guitars(they're not an official dealer of any brand though, they more like very good condition 2nd hand units) but never did they have an Esquire which is quite a common phenomenon among guitar shops.

But honestly, a build like your La Cabronita looks a lot more customized(even with its simple motif) and inspiring than an official custom shop. I could imagine the thrill of building one guitar that's just exactly how you want it. :)

Btw, do you have a clip of it? I haven't played a guitar with filtertrons yet. I only heard them extensively on some Brian Setzer records.

[Twinfan]

I've not done any clips I don't think?  I'll check my YouTube account uploads when I get home....

Just bumping this thread to thank you guys for the recommendations. I've chosen the blackguard flat 50's bridge for my esquire project and it is definitely as what you have described. I'm very happy with how it sounds whether clean, semi-dirty and with heavy crunch.  :D

Nice one, welcome to the BG50 club :D
