I was just wondering if any of you owned this guitar. I have one in the Antique burst. It is a wonderful guitar. I have been a big fan of Robben Ford (his blues) for a while and I have an instructional video of him playing one of the original Esprits.
The only issue I have with the Squier is the hardware. For some reason they used a pewter color. After a couple of years they look awful. I love the Duncan Design hummbuckers on it. I am looking to do a hardware change and I am thinking either gold or nickel. I was just wondering if anyone here has one that they have modded the hardware. I am looking to find what tuners, bridges and stop bar will fit without modifications. Just a bolt up swap. I know the buckers are the same size as regular Gibson ones so I might drop in a set of 57s. Any help will be much appreciated.
