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...

Congratulations on not only a head turner, but a great piece of history too

Beautiful guitar, but i’m distracted by the patina on the case!

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.

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!

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.

Agreed, but what on earth is that incongruous pointy headstock-looking one with all the toggle switches? Logo is too long to say Parker or Bond, but I just can't figure out what it
does say.
