    Nice, but they shorted you a pickup. If I was you I'd go and demand they put it back.

    Nice! Double nice!

    I have the same guitar. Except that it's a Tokai and the sunburst is fugly.

    Why so many pickguard screws?

    Every '59 Esquire Custom I have seen has the same # of screws.

    That is absolutely gorgeous!

    I love sunburst Teles (sunburst anything, really!)

    I have a sunburst Tele with a white guard. I've always thought that it needed a mint guard to be complete.

    The guards changed late '58 (Thank you Mott The Hoople) - early '59...
