Oh, very well....
Pickup is not a BKP. I know that the black 3-ply guard not correct for a mid-1967 Esquire, but this one apparently was "upgraded" into a sorta-Tele at some point in its career (check the hole in the contral plate.) I put the black guard on it because I liked it better.
Tuners are old Schaller replacements from the 1970's. You can see where the original Klusons were installed at one time. One potentiometer is correct and one is a diMarzio. Bridge is correct but the saddles are NOS oversized Ernie Ball replacements from the 1970's. They are taking on a nice patina. Jack, switch, and tip are original.
I need to weather the body some but I take my time doing that.
Neck is thick and wide and has a funny shape that takes some getting used to.
I could see using this Esquire as a sole guitar if I were playing, say, hot Bakersfield country. My wife says it sounds "pretty."
