David Gilmour Telecaster SET Esquire 1955 Vintage Correct Hand Wound Tele

119,00 €

This cool set is inspired by the 1955 Esquire guitar owned by Mr. David Gilmour.

David’s 1955 Esquire originally belonged to Seymour Duncan who gave/sold it to David around 1975-76. It already had its worn exterior, which led David to name it “The Workmate” after the Black and Decker work bench (Phil Taylor Q&A, davidgilmour.com, Dec 2007).
An Esquire differs from the Telecasters in that they don’t have the neck pickup, but Gilmour’s guitar has a custom fitted neck pickup, made and installed by Seymour Duncan (who then worked at Fender). This pickup was actually STRAT sized unit- our version is regular Tele neck size – for easy installation on any Telecaster pickguard.

IMPORTANT!
Tele neck pickups can be mounted with WOOD or PICKGUARD screws. Please let us know if you need the pickguard or wood mounting screws with this pickup. You can send us a message or leave a note on the checkout page.

#3 x 1″ Round Head Wood Screws – this is the way Fender did it back in the day;
Wood mounting screws are screwed to the body/ wood – under the pickguard – and these require a larger hole in the pickup – so we will re-drill the mounting holes in the pickup to fit the wood screws.

#4 – 40UNC Phillips Pan Head Pickguard Screws
Pickguard screws are used for mounting the pickup on the pickguard – this way the pickup height can be adjusted without removing the pickguard.

These 2 pickups are R.W.R.P – they will be hum cancelling when both pickups are active.
