Relic Esquire Build Started

[Sarge]

After getting hit with a big theft, I don't fall in love with guitars anymore. I used to, about 20 years ago I had 120-130 before paring it down to 20. Then I was left with 1 full guitar and 4 or 5 in parts and that changed everything for me.

An endorsement would change that for me, of course. But as it is I'm never been happy with most production guitars and that's why I got into building them in the first place.

So I hope you two never get hit with by a thief, and can enjoy what you own..

Damm 120?
How did you take care of them?
That is a lot of string changes and setups when the weather changes.
When I was living in Texas I had 17 guitars hanging up on the wall and didn't have setup problems.
I tired that here in Italy and the first winter I was setting up 17 guitars and changing strings on 17 guitars.

So what got stolen?
Any vintage pieces?

The guy from King Bee Guitars is done with it.
He was really impressed with the Don Mare 3 Speed Stingray Pickups.

Sweet! I love the Esquires. Dig the the amount of tonal differences from the single pickup setup...

Awaiting full review upon receivership...

Sure, but is "receivership" a word?

It's a lot of work, or was. I pared 120 down to the best, most personal 20. Everything of value, 70K worth gone, a couple vintage yeah, basically my whole rig too.
