I am obsessing...

my first guitar was a Fender Esquire Custom ('59-'68). I'm not sure what year mine was but I bought it in '67-'68 for $85 from a pawn shop in Newport News Va.

I foolishly traded that guitar for a single cutaway, single pick-up Rickenbacker.

Like so many first guitar stories, I would love to have that guitar back or a comparable replacement. This is a Japanese reissue (MIJ) Fender Esquire Custom from the 80's; it is exactly like the one I had, so, I am obsessing...
