Okay guys, here's the plan. A friend gave me a slightly worn but very good Warmoth Tele 22-fret neck in birdseye maple. It's thick as a bat, with a nice V-shape. So I'm gonna marry this thing with some parts from GFS. This is what I have in mind:

All parts will come from GFS, including the body. Luckily, the neck I have has the exact 2 7/32" width that the GFS body has, so I'm good there. Wiring will be Esquire with the half-cocked-wah mod. The pickup will be a Reverend T-Style baby I got from a Buckshot.

Tonight I'll post pics of the neck.

An Esquire type tele is a great idea.

I can't wait to see the project progress.
