I've been thinking of little else apart from building my own guitar since getting back into playing and discovering the Warmoth website.
I quite fancy a something traditional, a sort of Fender factory-style build - which they've not done, but could have.
I did think that a nice sunburst Thinline Esquire would be different, yet Fender have already done one of those themselves - 'what we would have done in the 50s had we built Thinlines then', to paraphrase fender.com.
I am currently thinking of a recreating what the Jeff Beck relic-ed Esquire would have looked like had Fender built it in their custom shop as a new shiny guitar. ie. Tele body with the strat-style contours, one-piece 21-fret gloss maple neck, single (JB Seymour Duncan p/u), and vintage style fittings. The big question is: Has anybody already done anything like this?
There's just something about the Esquire that's appealing to me at the moment!
