It's seeing pics like these that cause me to consider colors that my mind had previously been closed to. Really nice!!

Beautiful Curly!
Even has the neck pickup rout which you're not going to use. Just like a real Esquire.
Can I suggest a pickup? Get a Custom Shop Alnico 2 Tele Hot Tapped.

Re: gentlemen, I present the start of my new Esquire project
thanks, guys ... this is going to be a fun one
he shot it like an MK white, then a tint coat over. He said he had shot this before, even though it wasn't listed on his site, and it came out exactly like the sample pic I sent
other than that, it will look a lot like a mid 50s E ... parchment guard, etc ... I have the neck at home ... USACG '54 profile with 6150 frets
Lew, that's exactly what I want to use, but I might build it with a JD first ... I haven't called MJ because I figured she was swamped, but I need to do that.
BTW, if it's the same pickup as what they list as the tapped '53, they've gone up a bit!
my favorite tele pickup!!!

not a 50s color ... it's a color that a few other places do ... Suhr I think for one.

The Custom Shop tapped 53 JB Tele bridge pickup is not the Custom Shop Alnico 2 Tele Hot Tapped...they are very different in fact.
Gary, Great looking start to a killer looking/sounding axe...looks great!

Re: gentlemen, I present the start of my new Esquire project
thanks again for all the nice comments
thanks, Christian
I took a look at the specs, and the '53 tapped JB seemed very similar, but it lists for $200.
so, I'm glad they're different ... the regular CS hot tapped sounds great, and the neck pickup that MJ winds in a set is about the best tele neck pickup I've heard.

Re: gentlemen, I present the start of my new Esquire project
All I know is I called MJ one day and we got to talking about Teles and she said:
"I'm going to wind you the best Telecaster pickups you've ever heard."
She wound me a "CS Tele Hot Tapped" that's alnico 2 and a
alnico 5 "Tele ala Strat" neck pickup.
I put the "CS Tele Hot Tapped" in my favorite Strat, and it's the best Strat pickup I've ever heard!
Never got around to trying one in my Tele.

Re: gentlemen, I present the start of my new Esquire project
my first one was 9.4K, and 6.6K tapped (A2); the neck is 7.6 (A5) .. with the right amp, they compress very nicely ... raw tone with a sweet top end and just the right bite
