Hi guys ,
I just got one of my guitars back from a friend of mine . He held on to it for me for 25 years .
What we have here is my 62 Fender double bound MIJ Esquire in Candy Apple Red .
Pardon my fuzzy pics ..I'm not set up with the lighting over here
I bought this guitar brand new in 1986 when I worked at Mannys Music on W 48 th .
The first thing I did was to pull the neck off my Esquire and store it n a safe place .
Since I wanted Jumbo frets , I walked over to Rudys Music and bought one of the necks he was using for the Pensa Suhr guitars of that era .
BTW I waited 20 years to put the Esquie neck on one of my current Teles. I may show that one someday
Last but not least , at the time I didn't have a Tele with a Humbucker in the neck position so I put one in a Gibby HB in back then ...
This guitar is a keeper so I'm not at all worried about the rise and fall of guitar prices .
all the best
Kenny
