Mickguard Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 i guess a telecaster will do ← Heh heh...I think the esquire is just a telecaster without the neck pickup. You can also take a telecaster and put a scratchplate on it that hides that cavity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo T. Magnifficent Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 esquires have carved tops aswell i believe. id just use telecaster template and eyeball it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 That is just some of the new models, I'm pretty confident that the traditional esquires didn't. Just the bridge pickup and the tele outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaxer6 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 original esquires were teles without the neck pickup. i believe they came out in 1951 as the single pickup version. The esquire even has the 3 way toggle, but it changed tone settings. the new reissues are routed with the neck pickup and the pickguard is just not cut. some info..: the esquire was originally chosen as name for the fender singlecut, but broadcaster was used. broadcaster was to similar to the name of another guitar at the time and fender was forced to change names. this change period is where the nocasters came into play, they had no name. The name was finally switched to telecaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
