Beautiful guitar! I recently bought a used Fender CS "50"'s pine Esquire super heavy relic with a handwound blackguard pickup. I also have several other Fender CS guitars and a CS Gibson 335, and the Esquire is my favorite. Mine has the same neck profile as yours, which I've come to love and the same basic level of relicing. You're right about how awesome the pickups are on this series of Fenders. The Nocaster/Blackguard pickups Fender is making are exceptional! Great guitar and congratulations on an AWESOME guitar man!!! It sounds fantastic!
The heavy relics are a little bit much for my own taste. I have a Strat with that treatment, and kind of wish it was closer to Journeyman. Having said that, I do prefer SOME level of relic over a brand-new, shiny, sticky guitar.
Congrats man, I love it! In fact I have one too and it’s just awesome. I doubt you’ll ever tire of owning it. 👌
Between this Tele and your Wildwood LP, you are set for life. Both super-lovely! Congrats!
Looks and sounds great to me
