Lots of detail go into each to make them not only look great, but sound pristine!!!
Knobs and plates of all varieties like those in the photos are available through me but are not included in this listing. I am using them for photo purposes only and also to showcase some unique knobs you may want to include. Connect with me on those, but again, the knobs and plates are not included in the price or sale of this listing.
This is not your average Tele layout. It's better. And for those of you who know....KNOW.
The Eldred wiring is named after Mike Eldred, who directs the Fender Custom Shop. Mike came up with this wiring for his personal Esquire and it was an instant success.
Now, it can be yours, as well. The first time I installed in my teles I couldn't believe how much clarity it produced!!! I still don't understand! But my ears do. It's sonically the best there is.
Here's the lowdown on the switching layout:
• Switching position #1. This rear position is the same as on a standard Esquire. The pickup is routed through the volume control only, with the tone control bypassed for a hotter, louder lead sound with extra highs.
• Switching position #2. This middle position is also the same as on a standard Esquire, with the pickup routed through the volume and tone controls. It sounds a little warmer than position #1.
• Switching position #3. In the front position of the Eldred Esquire wiring, the pickup is routed through a single, small capacitor and volume control, with the tone control bypassed once again. You might think this is a very small and lame modification because it consists of nothing more than removing the fixed treble roll-off network and replacing it with a capacitor. But it's a very effective mod that's both versatile and useful.
