The black nail polish is an interesting touch. Messages 24, I say the two '56's make a good combination that would greatly compliment any stable. Thanks shuie! The Fretted Americana videos are an absolutely fantastic resource for comparing different guitars. Very cool stuff. Messages 15, Think of the single pickup as unbridled, no governor on it.
It gives the full bloom of whatever pickup you use. I have a Duncan Antiquity on mine. But guys, get this, many people don't associate the two. The first time I picked up an Esquire, I immediately heard what we are talking about.

Messages 3, Some say that removing the neck pickup effects the tone, I actually agree with this to a degree. It forces you to PLAY the thing.
Not rely on neck pickup for warmer tones, combo of pickups for tones, no. You have to vary the tone and volume controls, vary your picking intensity and right hand technique.
WHERE you pick. I love the pressure it puts on me to PLAY and not think depend on 'stuff'. The straight to jack position on my Esquire is SO much clearer than the bridge only on my tele with tone all the way up. It's bouncier, twangier and brighter.

Today they would be enormously valuable. It's a well known fact that those early pine bodies were thinner than the later ash bodies though, both the single- and double-pickup versions. Interesting is the white blond finish, as the known examples were painted black with a white pickguard at least the one pictured in one of my books. The double-pickup Esquire was only the second link in the Tele chain except for the two prototypes , and as such a guitar still in progression.
