Rosewood and red is such a great combo.
Love the paisley one!
I thought California gun laws were tough, but you have a 5 day waiting period for guitars?I get this one out of jail on 2/18/2021. The correct color name is “burgundy mist”.
Cool looking Telecaster!Partscaster.
Gotoh engraved hardware (including neck plate)
Fender Classic 50s Lacquer MiM neck
Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups with "Baja Tele" wiring (4-way + S-1 switch)
Body paint by Shawn Fintel @ GuitarPaintGuys
I have a twin Strat build underway... but the body was a POS import and the holes are screwed up... need to plug and re-drill for the neck and tremolo.

Where did you get the Esquire body? The finish is perfect.I used to own 3 Teles, but traded one in against my SG Standard.
'54 Esquire replica I put together using a Fender MIM neck (Fat U '51), that I refinished with tinted clear nitro. The White Blonde is a MIM Classic 50s Lacquer model, with Fender Original Vintage pickups and some cosmetic changes to make it more like a '56.
Before the Esquire neck refinish:

I like a Tele/Esquire through my 'Plexi':

Ya, but what you've got is better than any Squier.I wanted a surf green tele so badly that I paid to have my sunburst ASAT Tribute stripped and re-painted. A few years later, Fender came out with surf green Squiers. Do'H!!!

I bought it from Axecaster, it is an SC Relics body. I'm in the UK, so I don't know if that's much help to you?Where did you get the Esquire body? The finish is perfect.
OK. Thanks. Do you recall the type of wood from which it was made?I bought it from Axecaster, it is an SC Relics body. I'm in the UK, so I don't know if that's much help to you?
