Members zygoat Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 word, so i recently got an ES339 and while it sounded really nice, the gibson necks are something i don't think i'll ever get used to. fenders feel so much better. so enter this esquire on the trade and it's back on like donkey kong. i was thinking about ordering a stacked humbucker for this thing but the stock pickup is really good. super bright but nice enough. old school 7.25" radius, i'm a big fan of vintage style necks!! it has a lot of lacquer on it (fingerboard) so it does feel kind of sticky but i'm sure that will either go away or i'll get used to it. overall i'm happy. i'm gonna put a black pickguard on it. here's pics and a clip [video=youtube;aef9_5sqUCE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 Pretty awesome. I'd miss the neck pup too much with an Esquire, but hey. Can't complain. Gooood call on the black, too. She'll be gawgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schandmann Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 Nice. I always find your videos to be kind of motivational, because we seem to have similar styles, but you're way better than me. I need to practice more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members conky Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 Awesome guitar. I'm not to familiar with the Esquires other than just seeing pics of them. Tell me more about it. Are they current production models or is it older? Also, what does the toggle switch do since there is only one pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schandmann Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 Also, what does the toggle switch do since there is only one pickup? Standard Esquire wiring: tone control off - tone control on - fixed resistor in signal path (sounds like ass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they current production models or is it older? Also, what does the toggle switch do since there is only one pickup? Current production, MIM. Position 1, which would be the bridge pickup on a normal tele, is the bridge pickup with the tone control bypassed for a hotter signal. Position 2, normally both both pickups, is the bridge pickup with the tone control in the circuit, like a normal tele position 1. Position 3 is again the bridge pickup with a capacitor to give it more bass heavy sound, some have described it as a cocked wah type sound.

Members zygoat Posted April 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 yeah, the position 3 is kinda useless for me. sounds pretty neat with fuzz but i would rather use position 2 with the tone at 50-25%. this one is a custom shop '59 NOS relic...

Members conky Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oh ok, cool. I wouldn't mind one of these. Those bridges feel weird to me though, where it's raised around the edges. i guess it wouldn't take much to get used to it though. I love one pickup guitars and could definitely get by with no problems with one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheHarakiriEnd Posted April 9, 2011 Members Share Posted April 9, 2011 I love running my tele into the Rambler with the amp trem and a bit of verb! Have you ever tried brass saddles? I like brass slides the most (I never played slide until I tried a brass one and it really worked well with my style/sound) which gave me the idea about brass saddles, I would leave at least the E-A as is but try brass on the rest. It is relatively cheap and IME gives a smoother, hollow-like sound that is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
