Nice Esquire I think that is the best Fender guitar.
I met Les Paul in Juneau AK he owned a house in Juneau and would go King Salmon fishing May through June most years.
The first time Lester and his friends were having trouble docking their boat I helped them tie up the boat during a storm
and helped them off the boat on to the dock. I said your Les Paul and you are Steve My friends call me Lester
I said I wish I had my Les Paul Custom for you to autograph What LPC do you have the Black with gold hardware with P90's
Volute or non Volute ?? Non Volute OH those are the good ones you better keep that one Steve.
Anyway he was joking all the time real funny Man.

Both pics are priceless. Congrats...
Even Les Paul's great sideman, Lou Pallo, is in the pic!

Yeah, when they started playing, everyone rushed the stage to take photos. I was seated at the front table. After the first song, Les says "Let's stop, and get together for everyone to take a picture." As soon as they get together, Les say's "Here's you photo", and then flipped the bird.

I remember Lou Pallo from King James Music
on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn.
Lou is/was one of the best guitarists I have ever seen
(and yes, like the t shirt says, I saw all the cool bands).

AXL husk build. the slot were cut; I figured if the fret install went sideways it would be a dedicated slide unit.
But it plays great.
It recently got an unexpected upgrade with the black Grover tuners that came off the Agile AD-2300 in my quest to reduce the neck dive.
$20 Guitarmadness 57 special pickup sounds good, though I dont have a Gibson to compare it to.

I’ve dragged this from its slumber...dusted off, tuned it up, and firing up the grill...
Edit: I just realized that this guitar is hitting 25 years old! Like, within days....

Very cool! Flame top and all!
Thanks! It’s the gaudiest guitar that I currently own...don’t get me wrong...I love it... but it is awfully “pretty” for my tastes. In the 25 years of time with me, it has been hit by a stray dart, and has been on fire once...I obviously took care of that quickly.
It has a very Fender neck, which is why I purchased it. It’s fairly comfortable to play.
The strings that are on it right now are heinous. No better description for them.
The bridge area of the top is pooching out a bit too...got a bit of belly happening. That’s why I retired it to case duty. I think I will seek out the lightest acoustic strings I can find for it, to see if that helps. There isn’t much bridge to take down, to make up for the belly bulge.
what a gorgeous thing.
