    Shoulda played some Floyd with that guitar. The Esquire is famous for the psychedelic scene just as much as the twangy sound.

      David Gilmour got a lot of use out of his Esquire. He did most of The Wall Live shows with an esquire.

      @@skraegorn7317 He only played one song on the Wall shows with the Esquire (Run Like Hell), but he had a new white Esquire (with a neck pickup added, as had the Wall one) for two songs on the On an Island tour, and he used the Wall Esquire quite heavily on the Rattle That Lock tour.

I'm stumped about which 1 to turn into a Esquire, with a pickguard, pickup & wiring. Love em both as they are but have a 2019 Player blackguard I'll keep as it is.
    Out of interest, any Idea what a brand new condition 2009 sunburst / maple USA Strat would be worth? US $...
    In Australia, by the way.

    It's cool you chose a Joe Walsh song to play. A couple months ago I saw Joe play in Portland, ME and got to meet him. I asked him out of all his guitars he owns what is his one "desert island" guitar. He paused and thought about it before replying... "Probably my Fender Esquire". Very cool. Keep up the awesome videos. One day I'll get out there with enough coin to buy one :)
