NGD! Something 50s...
Hey guys,
it's been a while...life's been odd for the past few months, but I seem to be getting back on track.
I did a lot of selling to get to this one, many great guitars had to fall, but here it is...a 1957 Fender Esquire...body refin and a couple of other minor things made it sort-of-affordable.
Insane guitar!
And with some friends...

Yo!!!
That’s a hell of a slab. Enjoy it for all it is and all it isn’t.

That’s incredible. Congrats, Yannis!!
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Re: NGD! Something 50s...
There is something amusing about that collection being in a stagg case rack. Pretty cool looking guitar, I imagine it’s gotta be something pretty special? Only thing I would do is throw on a black pickguard, Bakelite style if possible, but that’s entirely personal aesthetic taste.

Re: NGD! Something 50s...
I actually like the white guard on it.
I love the wear under the bridge, and would never refin
Congrats Brother!

Looks amazing. Wow Congrats!
I agree about the bakelite black guard from an aesthetic standpoint, but if that's an original guard, then I'd keep that on there for sure!

Re: NGD! Something 50s...
Jeez, that's wild. I wont dare ask how much, but I can make a good guess.
Congratulations...you're gradually amassing quite the collection.
