The Slowhand Esquire
The Latest incarnation of my Paramount Telesonic is better than ever after being given the Slowhand treatment.

I got this Indonesian-made S-Type guitar about 2 years ago because I wanted a contemporary style of Strat for covering different genres of music at one gig.
It turns out that this was a breeze. Well, maybe I just got lucky, but everything went so well that I can’t help thinking it’s really not a big deal to do a mod like this.
Not very long ago I already did this to another guitar of mine, which I call the “SX Slowhand Strat”. Now I am about to “Claptonize” the Bullet Hardtail in a fashion, much closer to how the original Fender version is laid out.
I’ve had some crazy guitar mod ideas before that after a few minutes of research made me realise that they were not a good idea to try. This first one however is a good idea because it addresses a practical purpose as well as being very satisfying to pull off.
