American Special body & trem.
Full guard & electrics from a Lonestar strat.
Aftermarket neck with vintage style tuners.
Bit of nitro (& tint) from a couple of spray cans.
Sounds great, plays fab and is lots of fun to gig.
First up, the original Denecaster. Body was a piece of African walnut bought off ebay, shaped and routed by my me, Dr Parts neck, a loaded Wilkinson pickguard, hardware from Axetec. Finished with Danish oil.
The Telecaster - multi-piece alder body from ebay, Dr Parts neck, Iron Gear pick ups and other hardware from Axetec. Nitro finish on the body.
Next, the green partstrat. Three-piece swamp ash body from guitarbuild.co.uk, Mighty Mite neck, Oil City Texas Blues pick ups, more Axetec hardware. Wudtone staining, but I can't remember what kind.
Next, the Les Dennis mark II. A Kitbuiltguitars.co.uk kit - multi-piece mahogany body with a flamed maple top, maple neck and Iron Gear Rolling Mill pick ups, a Jeremy Charles vintage-style wiring kit and further Axetec hardware. Wudtone Black Magic Woman on the top, Tru-oil on the back.
I have another kitbuiltguitars kit, a PRS style one, that I haven't fully completed because I'm not happy with the way the finish has come out. I'll put pics of that up when I get the chance.
The green partstrat and the Les Dennis II have been finished in Wudtone, but honestly, I'm not happy - I thought the Black Magic Woman would have been a much blacker black and the green one was supposed to be midnight blue, but hey ho.
Squier Strat body, Kavanaugh reverse neck, iron gear pickups - a dirty torque and a rolling mill. It's pretty rough and ready, the upside down headstock confuses punters but it turns out it's very giggable and sounds pretty good.
What? WHAT? Why are you giggling...
TruOil Ash body, maple neck, Wilkinson brass bridge, homemade pickguard and FortyNiner pickup with Eldred Esquire harness (both from OilCity).
Despite being made on a very tight budget I love this guitar- I've sold many more expensive instruments since getting it.

The two I currently have. The Strat is an MJT body with Fender Eric Johnson neck with Callaham, Fatboy and Oil City bits. The orange beastie has a Mighty Mite body, Musikraft neck with Floyd Rose original and BK VH2 pickup. The finish, Floyd install, neck pocket work and assembly were done by @wezv of this parish.

My own frankenstein Strat. Started as a Squier standard and got modded with umpteen necks, pickups, bridges etc but it's coming up 4 years since it last changed which is the longest it's ever been stable. Squier body, Fender CP60's neck & tuners, Callaham trem, the massively-underrated and completely brilliant Rio Grande Mid-bottom pickups, Rothwell Hot Little Knob and a fatboy relic mint guard.
It's a bit ratty around the trem routes front and back but nothing major.
And last but by no means least, my Jazzmaster. Inca Silver body by MJT, bound musikraft neck, staytrem bridge, Mojo pickups and an original '64-ish pickguard. It's absolutely spectacular.
In age order from left to right.
Guitarbuild swamp ash body, Warmoth canary/pau ferro neck, old parts drawer EMG 89.
The scratchplate I bought didn't line up with the pickup route, so I cut the sucker up - deciding that if I didn't like it I could always get another full plate, but never got round to changing it.

Recessed spring cover (not that there are any springs) and battery box

Those of you with sharp eyes will have noticed that it's a 12 string, but the body was routed for a standard Strat trem. To convert it I just made a block from some ash left over from a kitchen worktop. I wanted the conversion to be reversible, so the block is just held up against the trem routing lip by the string tension of the 6 through-body strings (oh, and 2 large screws). The curved end is visible below the bridge, but not very.
Set up by @SteveRobinson, it plays insanely well for a 12, and the EMG seems to suit the application very well.
I've given up trying to ID this so can only conclude someone wanted to make their own Jackson Soloist.
