The Fender Esquire is the single-pickup version of the guitar that became the Telecaster, sold from 1950 with the same ash slab body and bolt-on maple neck but only a bridge pickup. Its three-way switch does not select pickups — it offers the bridge pickup flat, with a treble roll-off, and through a fixed bass-heavy circuit, so all three positions are voicings of one pickup.
Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special signature model featuring chrome-covered P-90 pickups, mahogany body and rounded-profile neck, medium jumbo frets, and hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors. The Iommi SG delivers super resonant, punchy P-90 tone with the warmth and clarity of vintage design.
