    '53 Esquire pots / parts

    I own a 1953 esquire which has had some mods done by previous owners. Pickup added in neck position, some pots may be replaced. Can you help me understand how to verify 1) if the blackguard plate is original? 2) if the pots are from 1953? 3) the date of he neck pickup?

    Much appreciated!

    There are numbers on the pots if they are readable send them in a reply and I'll see if I can figure it out for ya.

    The blk guard should be made from bakelite and might have a paint can ring on the underside of it as they sat them on 5" paint cans to dry.

    Pickups are hard to tell. Send pics if possible.
