did i mention my keyboard is nearly dead  - i have to hit harder than normal

(i just typed 'nearly dad' and had to correct again!!!)

1 esquire:


the matchng blue one will be back soon as well

2 esquire - lews has some strings, time for set-up/settling in:


I completely reworked the 12th fret inlay on the PRS style guitar, i thought the individual letters broke the flow of the pearl blocks so went for an engraved 12th fret block instead


and something thats been missing a while - used to look like this


its my first vendetta!!!   My own personal guitar for a long time, made from solid paduak which is naturally red - but doesnt aways stay that way ... after a few years it turned brown so i got my cousin to start respraying it... but hen he had a few major lifestyle changes and could not spray for me and it got stuck in limbo

The top bound esquire looks great Wez - well done! Looking forward to seeing the blue one.

Liking the vendetta..would love clearer shot..what kinda weight is this

[Johnny Mac]

Great looking work there Wez

[WezV]

yeah, all my pictures seem grainy at the moment - i need some natural light shots i think

currently its 7lbs, thats with a set of planet wave locking tuners installed but no other hardware.  Paduak can be quite heavy but this is a compact little guitar so its evening out to a fairly average weight

[sgmypod]

so new shot tomorrow in the light....didn't look that heavy, not played paduak what do they sound like..I E ash etc

[FernandoDuarte]

This Vendetta looks mean now! love the Esquires

[WezV]

its like middy maple, which is an odd description.  Nowhere near as bright as maple but has the clarity, i always found this guitar to be quite balanced but with a fast attack that really suited higher gain pickups in the 12-15k range


i dont think its been used on that many production guitars other than washburn N4's

It looks so much better with this mock guard, rather than bare. It looks so unique, but classic. I'm having kittens :D

[TheIronBeast]

Great work, Wez!

I must say I do really like that green Esquire ;)

[FernandoDuarte]

I'm not really sure... It looks gorgeous on both ways, but I prefer it "naked", looks more organic... But it's your guitar (unfortunately :lol:)

[Lew]

I was unsure until Wez sent me that pic. No contest for me, that pickguard is perfect for it - the way it wraps around the control plate and bridge pup is great. It just looks unfinished without it.

Stick a hardtail on that and I'd be buying one in a heartbeat!

Well you know what I think about Teles, Wez, but I have to say that carved top PRS/LP axe is absolutely gorgeous!!

BUT: You seriously need to take some better pics ;)

And I just know all those guitars are going to be lovely to play (such a waste of talent making Teles! Tut Tut!). :)

Take it easy,
