Stripping it down to the floorboards, I can't help but notice that it isn't routed for a humbucker at the neck, which is OK, but I'd just nabbed a pair of Gretsch humbuckers and had half a thought that maybe I could use one of those instead of doing the Esquire thing at all.
But I probably won't, unless I decide to widen the hole in the wood.
So file that under 'confused', I think we should.
Anyway, at the bridge I'm going for a Bare Knuckle Yardbird, as I keep meaning to try them and then generally forget, but this time I won't. Unless I use the BKP The Boss instead, which I suppose could happen.
As for the rest, I've got a nice old Fender brass bobbined bridge, so that is easy, and I have a lovely maple neck and some Kluson tuners, so that isn't entirely tricky either in the make-a-decision-why-don't-you? department..
In fact it is building itself.
I don't know why I'm even worrying about it.
The finish is going to be corroded bronze, though I have some walnut burr veneer coming soon, which might look nice mixed with some bronze, though I'm a tad reluctant to do 'nice' as decrepit, shattered and broken is more my style. Hmmm.
I guess I'll just try to get all the parts and options in front of me and then see what grabs me, it is normally the way of things, and I shouldn't expect it to be different with The Dust My Broom One.
