But; Esquire, rosewood neck, Tortie guard. Use the hardware frOm my current Esquire and return that guitar to its Harley Benton Rosewood origin.

Given my odd obsession with Strateles I shall look forward to pictures of the progress.

Err, I don't have one I just like looking at them! I think it started with @WezV 's own build ( below). Just an ideal combination to me. I do have a Pawn Shop 51 though, which is close but, so to speak, no cigar. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/new/ai1.jpg

I am currently stripping that one to try something else with the finish.... although not sure what yet

That, but probably Esquire with a Tele 'plate

See, a Stratele is nice & all but a Telstar is cooler !

Oh great, now I really want a stratele, but have two other projects to sort out. Didn't realise you could get the strat bodies with tele routing, that is very tempting.

Looking forward to how this develops.

Nothing odd about a stratele obsession..
