Guitar thread: Fender Esquire rescue project
Hello, all. Its been a while since I've posted anything here, but I thought I would share this project that I rescued from ebay recently. Honestly, it probably should have been put out on the curb with the garbage instead of sold on eBay. I thought it was a lost cause when I opened the box and saw it for the first time, but it actually turned out to be a really good guitar. A complete basketcase with every possible issue, but nothing that some aircraft grade paint stripper, glue, some tooled leather, a few dowels, screws, two part epoxy, and some good parts couldn't fix
 ...before pics from ebay auction. Classic eBay stuff here, w/both feet in the pics.    ... please look away from the screen if you have a weak stomach ...  Last Warning...

A little tooled leather action
 ...and today     The really fun thing about it is that this guitar absolutely kills. I've got about $350 in it, and it looks, sounds, and plays like an old reliable battle axe. It still needs a good setup from a real luthier, but Im so geeked that I was able to make a guitar out of it. |
