This cool set is inspired by the 1955 Esquire guitar owned by Mr. David Gilmour.<\/b>\u00a0 Vintage correct,\u00a0 aged and relic`d .<\/i><\/p>\n
David\u2019s 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 \u201cThe Workmate\u201d after the Black and Decker work bench (Phil Taylor Q&A, davidgilmour.com, Dec 2007).\u00a0 An Esquire differs from the Telecasters in that they don\u2019t have the neck pickup, but Gilmour\u2019s guitar has a custom fitted neck pickup, made and installed by Seymour Duncan<\/b> (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.<\/p>\n

\n<\/i> IMPORTANT!<\/strong><\/i>
\nTele neck pickups can be mounted with WOOD or PICKGUARD screws.<\/i> 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.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWood 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. <\/i><\/p>\n
\nPickguard screws are used for mounting the pickup on the pickguard – this way the pickup height can be adjusted without removing the pickguard.<\/i>
\n<\/b><\/i><\/strong>
\n<\/b><\/i><\/strong> These 2 pickups are R.W.R.P – they will be hum cancelling when both pickups are active.<\/b><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
