I've seen where the Fender Custom Shop makes an Esquire "Stealth" or some such... anyone know something about that?

Thumb, I'll add my 2 cents worth here... I love George L's. You'd have no trouble hearing the difference. The kinda skinny wire has a tendency to twist and tangle, but it's totally worth it. Very quiet, very reliable, full frequency transmission.
