yeah i agree ..... fender custom shop guitars are really nice... but that type of "custom shop" quality used to be on their regular production line in the 50s and early 60s. now days, old school 50s/ 60s type of quality is gonna cost you custom prices. how backward ass is that. Back in 56 you can buy a Stratocaster for $250 and it was built in way that is considered "custom shop" by todays standards. THINGS AREN'T BUILT LIKE THEY USED TO BE.
PopExpo at the same time, an original 1950 Brodcaster sold for about $220 with a case. That is about $2100 today accounting for inflation. I bought a Custom Shop 1960’s Telecaster Custom in Teal Green Metallic (custom color) for $2600. So really not all that much more than what a broadcaster cost originally. The reality is if anything Fender’s Standard Production guitars though are $1000-1400 new are mass produced and if you compare to original Fender prices, is much lower.
Man that neck pickup really sounds amazing, love what you did with it.
Yep the neck sounds much better that the bridge.
I was messing around with my new Esquire(2020) and tried a few different caps I ripped out of a 60s TV. U found a blue can shaped cap which I think was 40picofarads, by accident it wired it in reverse and now it seems to blend the original orange cap with this electrolytic TV set cap which makes it sound like Gretsch hollow body..I dont really know whats going on but I like it!
That BG1400 wiring mod does sweet things to a legend of a pickup.
I wired up this circuit for an Esquire clone I built last year, absolutely love it. Definitely makes for a much more usable (and downright cool) sound in that forward position. Maybe one day I'll be able to snag the real deal...but for now I'll just keep modding.
Watched this video like 20 times. FInally found one of these guitars, and had it shippped to CANADA. Set up just just the way I like it, with compensated saddles, Lollar pickup installed. mmm Sweet tone great guitar!
Curtis Kent I think you did pretty well with the MJT.
Which Lollar do you have? Thinking of doing an Esquire build, have Lollar Imperials in another guitar and keen to use them again due to their superb quality
Tune up !!!
I'm trying something similar but with 2 pickups and a on-load tone pot.
Position 1: bridge pickup. Volume always on. Tone can be on or clicked off completely.
Position 2: same as position 1 above but plus 0.005 uF cap. Typically, tone pot out of circuit. Cocked wah tone. Great with overdrive or clean when using a really bright amp.
Position 3: neck and bridge pickups in parallel. Volume knob on. Tone on or off.
Position 4. Neck pickup. Volume knob on. Tone on or off.
Mike was cool and innovative. Good stuff came from those years with him there. Why did he go?
ive watched several of these vids and i think mike only knows about 5 or 6 licks.
i'm just paying close attention to how he talks about the wiring, i'm going to try and make one, have a tech you know watch this and try to figure out the wiring
@PopExpo
back in the day, $250 was a lot of money. also, back in the day their regular production was way smaller-scale, which is why it was higher quality.
wow you have a good ear!!!
I would have said if i didn't know that this esquire was made out of two pieces of select alder.........
Compensated bridges are your friend Fender, they look vintage but are properly intonated.
Is it just me or is he out of tune? Sounds a bit of. When he hits that C...
Mike Eldred was the guy who convinced me never to buy Fender again. I'd sooner get an LSL Tele or Esquire, real vintage quality.
How come no love for Mike?
Sounds like a dead piece of wood
to heavy swamp ash.
Should tune guitar before you a demo.
All these guitars are "one of his favorite guitars".
prepare you to pay more than 3000$...
Soo it has a tapped pickup that cant be tapped?
i love how he always says, this is only of my favorite guitars
agree
love the twang sound
that thing is beautiful
jim??
sounds SOOOOO good
I want one!
What color is it?
Thanks
Why would anyone buy an Esguire over a tele? They are so limited. The sounds he is getting out of sucks compared to a tele
Three different sounds out of the most used pickup in a Telecaster? I'd say that's a whole new guitar within itself. I prefer Esquires wired like this personally.
Amazing how 'marketing' convinces us that a 60 old design is substantially different by exaggerating minute changes in cosmetics.
I just love tele's with binding on them.
Don't fall for it. You'll sound like you on -any- Telecaster!
By the way, a 'relic'd' guitar doesn't sound any better than the un-relic'd one next to it that's also BRAND SPANKING NEW.
