#31-151014 - Type EB Sold - Special order
This guitar captures the vibe of the early 60's. The neck is huge and the tone is like a flame thrower. It will cut like a hot knife through any mix. Mick Brierley's '52 lead for Tele was chosen to drive it. Genuine Bigsby B5 direct mounted and Vibramate stainless bridge plate with compensated brass saddles. Everything is top of the range.

There is a great vibe you get playing an esquire and this does it in spades. With one less pickup you would imagine it to be less than a telecaster but actually it has its own unique tonal palette you can't get with a tele.

I received this feedback from Ian the proud owner of #31
I gave the new guitar a good work out with the band last night and thought I would send some feedback. The sound was fantastic - really cut through - I play through a deluxe reverb and it was a great match. In the bridge side position the guitar has such a clear open hot sound - really cuts through, but it has space and air and openness if that makes sense. With the selector on the neck side with that more honky sound it is excellent dirtied up a bit.

The other band members loved the sound. It also plays very very well - I love the fat neck, and the set up is spot on. Great work mate - thanks!Also got some great comments on the look of the guitar - the sonic blue is perfect. So thanks again for all your work and a fantastic guitar. My only problem is going back to my other guitars after playing that fat neck.
