My 2 dilemmas: Tele or Esquire? & Nash or Custom Shop?

[soma89]

hi,
So I wanna get me a tele real bad. I love the look of relic's and really looking to get one but i don't know whether to go with nash or custom shop.

Also, I love tele's and esquires and don't know which one to go for...I'll be using their bridge pickups that's why i don't mind the esquire, plus no neck pickup is said to give the guitar more "honk" which i like.

Any suggestion/comments will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Why limit yourself? I would expect that someone like Danocaster could make you what you're looking for. I believe that K-line is currently selling an Esquire of his somewhere on TGP.

I'm sure there are other builders as well that could help you out. As far as Esquire vs. Tele, I say that if you're not going to use the neck pickup, go for the Esquire. If you have the body routed like the original Fenders you'll still have the option of installing a neck pickup in the future.

Esquire. I agree with Rhinocaster, don't limit yourself. There are so many F-style guitars out there.
