Nice choice on the body dude. In fact, IMHO, your taste is impeccable. Really happy to see you went with the rosewood instead of a 1-piece maple... even though I love 'em, rosewood is much more appropriate in this project. You might want to check out GRguitars.com for parts also. They have some decent 'reliced knobs'... not that yours is exactly a relic job, but I think 'tinted knobs' would suit the colour very nicely. Look forward to seeing how it all pans out.

thanks for the heads up, i didn't know about that website.
the esquire setup is nice 'cause you can switch between spiky bridge tones and a preset tone (using the tone knob) at the flick of a switch.
i never did find much use for the bassy circuit, though.

yup, but instead of the fixed bassy position, i replaced the cap/resistor/cap with a single .010 cap, which gives clean tones an out phase sound (quacky) and sounds like a cocked wah with distortion and fuzz..much more usable than the traditional wiring.
