Is it a Telecaster or is it an Esquire?
Building and Assembling your own guitar can be a fun and rewarding project!
Selecting your own custom parts and the sense of accomplishment after everything comes together, makes it all worthwhile. In this video (shot over the course of many weeks), I will walk through the entire process of buying and assembling this custom Fender Esquire Partscaster which features an amazing channel bound rosewood neck.
Not to be confused with Squier, the Fender Esquire is the predecessor of the Fender Telecaster.
Let’s Go!
