FS: Esquire Build Copper Aged

What's Hot

in Guitars £

£500 buys you the following: I know nothing can be based on upgrades and all that shite, but this has cost roughly £500 to amass in parts before the work that went into it...


I have recently finished an Esquire build that I had every intention of keeping, It has been 3 years in the making, it's been a multitude of colours and the neck was an experimental piece for me to use new methods to check the lacquer. It's an Allparts soft V 7.25" radius with a Tusq Nut, the body is a guitar build job If I remember rightly, but it maybe a Mexican Tele(I had 4 that I  was working on at the same time and I've no idea which one was which)...It's got a Dimarzio Tru-Velvet pup in there, all the hardware has also been part of my experimental Hydrochloric Acid aging...The Loom was built by Marc at Mojo pickups and has a pair of Jookys signature PIO caps in it, I do still have to attach the jack socket in it, just haven't got around to doing it. Finish was done by staining the wood initially with iron oxide before a white primer was laid down and a Crescent Bronze Copper coat with 3 tinted clear coats and a few pure clears. Checked and aged not too over the top based on a few custom shop jobbies I found online.

    Stunning guitar!
    Sarcasm is often hard to detect in writing. If in doubt - yes, I was taking the piss.

    Woah - if I didn't already have my parts ordered then I'd have this off you, this is pretty much exactly the level of wear I'm after on mine! Did you age the hardware too?

    How many positions is the switch, and what's the wiring scheme?

    3 position mate, and it's whatever Mojo pickups do with an esquire loom

    http://www.mojopickups.co.uk/harnesses.php.

    the only difference is the caps have Jooky printed on them instead of Mojo

    Jase, just take your time with it, wear a decent pair of rubber gloves and if you've got a respirator make sure that's on your face before you stick your face anywhere near it, that shit is real bad news when you breathe it in, I did it a few times before deciding to get the proper gear out the cupboard....if possible open the containers outdoors.
