Fantastic video....and your playing is off the charts!

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

You're Father chose a fantastic guitar, you are right it has a little something extra which makes it a totally unique instrument. For a guitar player to choose a 1 pick-up over a 2 says that they hear a difference for the better in that 1st position.

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

I agree. The guitar is special. The one pickup and the different ways it is wired definitely gives it something a bit extra.

[@krisford8813]

I wired up my pine Esquire build with a .033 as the fixed cap value..gives it a very usable honk/croak.

[@timopeedu6077]

Thanks for explaining and demonstrating the Esquire circuit. I’m definitely going to wire one of my teles like that. And fabulous playing BTW. 💪

I miss my 1951 Esquire. I paid $100.00 for it. Original Case.

Super cool Video man, i got my hands on a 1968 esquire and since i have it its my main axe, i love the simplicity, the original PU had to be rewound but it really still has the old sound to it, trough my vibro champ that thing is a beast and as pure as it gets if i could only have a 59 esquire with a slab i could die in piece

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Oh wow. That’s awesome! A good Esquire or Tele through a good amp is truly all you need sometimes. Thanks for watching!

[@StingraySteve]

I just got Doc Allen 55 Esquire repro siged by Mack Doss from the Cassic IV . I love it . Thanks for explaining the electronics to me .

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Oh wow. That’s so cool! Thanks for watching!

[@IPLAYLOUD]

The "dark" sound was Leo attempting to give an option to sound like a Bass, as the PBass wasn't invented until 2 years later.
Try balancing the switch between front and middle and you can use the Capacitor AND the Tone Knob together.

here in brazil we should say that "você toca pra caralho!" awesome.

[@glencooper1091]

Great video! Good delivery of information, great playing and editing/producing!

[@williamridenour2191]

The protype first shown was dubbed a "Snakehead"

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Oh cool. I didn’t know that

[@kimkelley9269]

Great video! Your playing is excellent and who doesn't love a real '56 Tele!

[@johnhutchinson3368]

Great playing...you need more subscribers man!

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah I’m hoping if I just keep putting stuff out that more subscribers will eventually come along for the ride.

[@sexyguitarboy69]

I'd SO love to play this hybrid picking style like you, mate! 👍

[@blakekeach5908]

Bro! That guitar is sexy! Love the banter and as always that amazing playing xD

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Thanks so much man. I agree. The guitar is sexy!!

[@JohnAdams-xc5yk]

Actually fender was not the first solid body guitar, and not the first to use 6 in line tuners Paul Bigsby built a solid body guitar for Merely Travis in
1948 Leo Fender went to see Merle he borrowed that guitar for a week, if you see the head stock you see where Leo got that idea

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Great guitar and tasty chops.

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching.

[@Lmans475]

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Thanks, Lucas!

[@codysmith6551]

So cool!

[@simonpark843]

Enjoyable video - I've subscribed.

[@burrencrawler]

I think it was a Nocaster at some point no?

[@cliftoncaskey5696]

A Nocaster was similar to the Broadcaster-it had two pickups.

[@marq.branco5978]

you play like a god dude!!!! gezzzz u play alot man!! Greetings from brazil, perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Thanks so much! You are too kind. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@Panic42000]

Didn’t Gibson invent the truss rod?

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

Wow you’re right. I didn’t know that. All I knew was that the first esquires didn’t have truss rods so they had to put some in there on the next batch. But you’re right. An employee for Gibson applied for the first truss rod patent in 1921.

[@KaneGregory]

It’s probably not true but the more I listen to Esquire’s the more they sound better than a regular Telecaster!🧠🤯🔫

[@russellmorgan5611]

Sorry. It's not a matter of good or bad music. You like it or you don't.

[@neoguitarconcepts20]

That’s fair. But for me it is more of a matter of good or bad. I may not care for a certain style of music but I can appreciate the musicianship behind it. The amount of time they put in to get good at their craft, etc. it doesn’t mean I have to like it but you can tell when someone is good at what they do. I don’t like many Gypsy Jazz or Bluegrass songs but many of those players are literally amazing. Whether you like it or not…they are good. That’s the viewpoint I take with it. But I respect your view too. Thanks for watching.
