Jagbastard in progress.
An XavierXV JT90 in Surf Green with a Squier tele thinline neck. The neck is a conversion neck, so the guitar now is a 24.75" scale machine. Pulled out the mini-humbucker and will be making an Esquire-like black pickguard for it. And will remove the knobs and switch and hook the pickup straight to the jack (using a tele control plate with no holes). Well, I probably will put a momentary switch in there.
Guitar was $194, neck was $149.
A Whole Bunch of Guitars. Some with sparkles. Some with Pearl. Some with racing stripes.
But why not put a volume and tone. Even if they're always at 10 you may want to roll back the tone every once in awhile. I mean especially with one pickup.
The thing that I like about an Esquire is the cockiness of only needing one pickup. The logical extension of this is to remove the knobs / pots and switches. Stripped-down hot rod with straight pipes. I did the same with a Squier tele thinline two years ago, and it still makes me so happy every time I hear it bark.
I also have a black Super-Sonic set up like an Esquire with no knobs, but with a three way tele switch with single, hum, and off as the settings. And I'm building a coral Super-Sonic / telecaster hybrid with a tele bridge, an SD BG1400 pickup, and a four-way tele switch with volume and tone (one of which is a push / pull to split the stacked humbucker). So that one will have eight tones from one pickup.
So, I change it up.

This was put together when I was still posting regularly so I thought it was only fair you guys get to see pics (of her latest/last) incarnation before she gets sold:

Just too amazing. I guess that makes you a corksniffer now
Early 70's Conrad 40080 into a Blackstar HT-5. I hope to add a Classic Vibe 50's Tele, Classic Vibe Duo Sonic, and few EHX stompboxes in the next couple of months.
Sure. There's a few things wrong with it that have been there since I got it from my grandpa 10 or so years go.
I'm loving the HT-5. It would be nice if they had Reverb, but it's not a big issue. I've been wanting to run it through different cabinets as I've got the HT-110.
It's actually in really good shape for a guitar that's close to 40 years old. The bridge pickup is inactive and the tone pot for it fell into the body. Other than that, it's a solid guitar.
