The Wez Paul looks great (though I would have had a wrap around tailpiece - bus it's not my guitar!).  The auction tele looks brilliant.  Now get these out of the way and get my stuff together  :lol:
So many pickups, so little time

Looking good - I was dubious about the headstock originally, but it's grown on me :D

Still quite can't get over the look of a bridge like that on a tele (or, any guitar) personally, though!

The Celtic/Rangers Esquires look great!  Are they identical (apart from the livery)?

the celtic is old mahogany, the rangers is sapelle. and the rangers has a chunkier neck  Other than that they are identical construction

wiring is Blackdog pickups with a c--ked wah push/pull and series/split/parallel on the 3-way switch

there is a slight tonal difference, the celtic has a little more meat to it but the rangers has a little better single coil tone... but they can be made identical with a little eq tweak

The Rangers one reminds me so much of the LPB Esquire I sold to Dave  :(
I think I hate being indecisive.
