So I have had my Thinline for sale for 2+ months with nothing but frustration. I will start by saying I have no need to sell it but I dont have an attachment to this one unlike my Warmoth '50 Esquire and '51 Broadcaster. also I know I am not getting what a paid for it which is why its priced...

Quick demo of the Boss FBM-1 Fender '59 Bassman run into the clean channel of a Fender Twin Reverb. Played on a custom reissue of a '50 Fender Equire with a 1950B Jonesyblues pickup and vintage Esquire...
After much thought I have decided to sell my beautiful 2018 Fender/Warmoth Thinline. I have 3 other “Telecaster” type guitars and this one is just not getting the playtime it deserves.
The body is Swamp Ash with a AAA quilt maple top binded in white. Top finished in Honey Burst gloss back and...
Well the 21 fret birdseye neck for my '51 Nocaster came this week. I have been for what seems like 6 month but I am sure its been 8 weeks. Here is a pic of both my '50s guitars. The '51 Nocaster with the new birdseye neck and the '50 Esquire with the original flame maple neck I had on the...
I have been to http://www.guitar-hospital.net/ and I would NOT receommend it but above all I would avoid PalmBeachGuitars https://www.facebook.com/palmbeach.guitars/. I took my first Fender there a MIM Special Edition Telecaster to swap out the pickups to the Texas Specials and months later when...
I want to do a natural Jazzmaster and do the clear coat myself. I dont want to deal with lots of grain filling so I know Swamp Ash is out. What about Alder and Mahogany?
I agree with Mayfly and usually do my own wiring but since I got the pickup from jonesyblues I figured I would try his wiring so I will give Jonesyblues a nod here. I have his hand made 1950B bridge pickup and his 1 pickup Esquire pre wired set-up and couldnt be happier. He is very nice and...
Vintage sound yes 100%, hence the hand made lacquer dipped pickup and vintage correct wiring, but not 100% vintage look or feel. Even if it was 21 frets its still a 1 3/4 nut with a 10/16 compound radius which isn't vintage at all. I could have done 21 frets with a 1 5/8 nut and a 7.25 radius...
This is a Esquire I built in 2019
- Warmoth Swamp Ash Vintage Telecaster body finished in Daphne Blue
- Warmoth Vintage/Modern 22 fret Maple neck with bonus flame finished in vintage gloss
- 1 3/4 TUSQ Nut
- 10/16 Compound Radius
- SS6105 Frets
- Warmoth .09" Solid White Gloss pick...
I decided to take the neck off my last project, the '51 Nocaster, and put it on this Esquire because its impossible to take the pick guard of the NoCaster to adjust the neck pickup with a 22 fret fingerboard. The end of the board being extended doesnt allow the pick guard to lift up so adjusting...
I do like roasted maple and have one on my Thinline I built but like my '51 Ncaster project I am trying to stay as vintage as possible within the limits of what I like to play though in all honesty flame or birdseye isnt very vintage correct either
This is true but since Warmoth does not sell a true Esquire body I didnt mention this. I wish they did. Another difference is the original Esquire was Pine which according to Warmoth they used to offer but they said it "gummed" up their machines so once they ran out of pine they didnt offer it...
I dont have the neck yet so I started with some basic tasks until I can decide on the neck. Trying to decide on a birdseye or flame maple neck. I know I want another 1 3/4 nut with a 10-16 compound radius but can decide on the type of maple
Like my '51 Nocaster project I went with all relic...
