Alfie Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Very very nice, I quite fancy an Esquire. Do you mind me asking how much that cost? PM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind me asking how much that cost? PM?[/quote] £1450.....the Bill Callaham parts pushed the price up,..... Using alternative parts and building it yourself it could be done for around £630,the body & neck are the main spend....but unless you pay the price you will end up with a run of the mill tele..... I tried to keep it as original to a 50 Esquire as was possible,I think Martin surpassed himself with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu-khag Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Looks very nice. can I ask what the pickup selector switch does on a single pickup guitar? does it cut or boost the signal or something?

Mr Fudge Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ah .... I was only riffing to some Dwight Yoakham last night. What I could have done with this. A beaut. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
