You wouldn't want to do it to this survivor, but a regular Esquires often get the Eldred mod, where you can get a great wah sound by modulating the volume.
If you know your vintage guitars then you'd know that whenever you see a piece of masking tape in the body that it's the name of whoever wired it together. Fender did this so that if anything ever went bad they would know who it was the soldered everything. This is what they also did with the neck until the early sixties. After more modern methods of making guitars came along there was a lot hand work. This was part of it to ensure quality and consistency. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
The Esquire and Esquire Style Electrics are of my faves

Great demo!
Loving all the nerdy details!!! 😎 Thanks John, and Riggs!
The muddy tone probably made sense coming out of the 40s when those tones were more common.
Muddy tone with fuzz can be kind of fun
