Our Esquire Kits are hand assembled buy us in the UK to improve your tone! We take great pride in using the best components that work and sound better than the stock electronics often found in your guitar. We start by sorting through the already great CTS "CG" pots to create matched sets to give you an even response when rolling down your volume and tone controls you can also choose CTS “CGS” SupraPots in the volume position. We then fit a Jupiter Yellow Vintage Tone Capacitor which are designed as a replacement for the Blue Moulded and Yellow Astron capacitors used in early Blackface and 60’s Fender amps and now used by boutique amp builders. These are way over spec for a guitar tone control but offer a clear smooth control and most importantly they sound great!!
This Esquire prewired assembly will drop into most Mexican or American Fender guitars with no modification. Wired with 22 AWG vintage push-back wire for that vintage look and sound. If you are installing this on an import guitar with metric sized pots you may need to ream your control plate holes to accept the slightly larger US-Spec pots and buy US-Spec knobs.
Tele Esquire Eldred Mod:
While the Esquire is certainly a cool (and very versatile) guitar, the original ’50s wiring left a few Esquire players wanting something more out of the 3rd position. The original wiring yielded a very dark tone in position 3. The Eldred modification aimed to solve this by removing the fixed treble roll-off circuit from the original ’50s wiring and replacing it with a low-value capacitor instead. The original Eldred modification uses a 0.0047uf Cap.
