Isn't this just a mediocre assembly of a stewmac kit? Check out the flare on the top piece of flatwork...

Here's your starter for 10.....


"We bought an original 1959 Esquire Relic Tele Bridge for a couple for thousand for reference."

[greenfingers]

"Original Relic". ha ha. There reference point was a reproduction and not an original. A couple of thousand as well OUCH.

By the way Spence love the play on words with the Shed Zeppelin's

Did they make pickups with Alnico 5 in 1959?

Would the string be white? I thought Leo put black dye in the wax.

Did everyone see that they bought a REISSUE tele pickup for "thousands" and copied that?

I'd just as soon buy a Duncan! At least he copied the real thing!

The damn thing is warped too!

Just came to me one night. Wish they were all that simple to name.

Indeed they did.
Anyone notice the wind direction issue?

I did a bit of work on this string thing recently. The string may have started out as bleached white but seemed to be a straw colour by the time it was used.
Last year I put a large ball of string in a pine cupboard to keep it away from Number 1 son. I forgot all about it but found it last week. It's gone a straw colour all the way through. I'm wondering if it's turned colour as a result of being in a warm pine environment. In any case, another batch is in that cupboard now.

It looks like a clockwise wind, which would be wrong. looks like the spent a lot of money to get nowhere near an original.

How can you tell? The hook up wires, or the direction they would the string?

The whole thing in general looks like crap.

The angle the wire is pointing is what i looked at. It looks like it meets the left pole first.

Come on David. Are you telling me you never sent off for these ?
