My good friend Hugh and I just consumated a deal where I have taken possession of a 57' Esquire.
I am out of my mind happy. It plays and sounds FANTASTIC !!!!!!! This is really special. It just rings and rings. Very snappy bright tone that has a lot of 3D sound happening. Very low output pickup compared to my 51' and sounds quite different from it (this was my justification to myself for getting it .) Can't wait to play it out with my band.
For the record it has a neck pickup (early 60's) installed and the original guard has been cut to accept it. It has been refreted. The guitar body was refinished and reliced by the master, Johnathan Wilson at Greenwich Village Guitars. Other than that is is all original and swwweeetttt !!!! What a vibe and feel in your hand.
I'll post pics soon.
Cheers
Pete
