The '85-'86 Customs are really something aren't they? This is the second one I've had. Something special about those old MIJ Fenders.

Very Cool on both!
I used to own a 60's Esquire back in the days when Pintos roamed the Earth....

That's a great looking guitar!

I'm sure I'll do a video soon, but for now, here's a famous Esquire riff:

Awesome pair, JB - congrats!

Nothing like an early MIJ tele. Greatest Fenders since pre-CBS, I think.
