Esquire love

[Philly Q]

The MJT is unused and I don't see it getting used anytime soon. I'll happily sell it cheap but it's routed for a floyd and bucker now too so I'll probably have to hang on to it untill I can afford to bung some parts and a neck on it   :lol:

I'm sure it's worth hanging on to.  You might have another idea in a few months' time that it'd be perfect for.  I'm always watching the Warmoth showcase - not looking for anything in particular now, but you never know what might turn up.

i might make lew an offer on the MJT body as i dont have any floyd equipped guitars for myself ;)

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."

It's actually very liberating to play such a simplistc guitar.

You still have the three-way switch that allows you to get the most out of that one pickup.
