Can't believe this is one of the few I've got of the Esquire. Tsk. Shall have to address this sharpish.

Not a workshop my good man, it's a shed. It's nearly all put together, I'm just currently a prisoner of humidity

It's a parts-a I had to make some wee drilly adjustments to, not a ground up build.

What a lovely stripy neck @jd0272, a Zebra would be proud to own them, and there are probably enough to go round the herd and still have a few over. That neck is a work of art, should make a magnificent guitar.

And all I had to do was order it from Musikraft!!! How very convenient of them to make it for me, bless 'em!

Hopefully will get moved to a bigger abode in '14, summat with a garage so I can get all my tools out and get busy making stuff myself.

Guitarbuild.co.uk one piece swamp ash body (custom routed for the 3 pickups and no scratchplate), Axesrus True Modern one piece maple neck (fairly chunky C profile), Chris Hernandez custom-wound pickups, all alnico 3 magnet. The extra switch is a 3-way allowing the neck to be added to whatever is selected via the 5-way, either in series or parallel - gives 10 different pickup configurations. First partscaster I did, still play it a lot, does jazz really nicely for one thing!
