PROTIP: the blue body on the blue esquier i traded Shadow my sherwood green one from the first Esquier. that guitar is on its 4th shortscale member now with Fran.

I put a lot of love into that thing. i switched necks on it 3 times before i found the one that worked the best with it.

the body is actually a 1999 American Fender Telecaster body in a color called Aqua Marine Metallic

the neck is a standard neck from a Squier 51.
the bridge plate and saddles are from GFS and the pickup is a GFS overwound fatbody "fatboy" bridge pickup.
the tuners are off of my jagstang that i got for christmas in 1994. the real mojo of the guitar lies in the tunarz

I did'nt realize it was a USA body. Nice. I like'd the neck on the 51 i briefly owned so this was a bonus, although i might try another neck on it at some point.

Did you wire it Rob? Its fucking mental, the volume and tone are opposite sides, they work in reverse and the Kill Switch did'nt work until i re-soldered it.

i switched the volume and tone because i had the plate backwards for a period of time.

as for the kill switch not working....the thing has traveled halfway across the earth. in a box.
