Okay, I already showcased my re-think of a rickenbacker bass and my band's customized zebra fluff guitars and bass but now I'd like to show off more of my creations.
I do do have to say that the pictures were not taken in a professional manner so they don't do the guitars justice.

On top we find my nylon string solid which has a Shadow pickup and ditto preamp, it has a solid ebony bridge and fingerboard inlayed with fake silver music notes and SOL-key, it's finished flawlessly in amber.
In the middle we find my re-think of a Gibson SG, this one is one of my main stage and recording guitars, it has a fatter body than a Real SG, dimarzio pickups (a DLX soapbar by the bridge and a PAF classic by the neck) a top loading non trem Fender bridge an all maple neck and a solid oak top of circa 1.5 cm thick. Also evident in the photo is the wear of the finish of heavy use, I have to patch it up some time.
and last but far from least is my most recent project, I wanted to make a Les Paul shaped solid on which I could play some cool Jazz. Given the fact that most jazz guitars are made of maple, the choice of body wood was easily made. It has a a Mahogany contrast stripe because I like the way it makes the guitar look. It has an EMG neck humbucker with a single volume control and sweet switch (you may notice that the guitar hasn't got a jack output in this picture, that's because I had to replace it since it was faulty) The neck is made from mahogany with an Ebony fingerboard. I really like the sound of this one, when strung with flatwounds it nails that big jazzbox sound but without any feedback.
so what do you think of my little wonders?

Well ...I really like the top-one with nylon strings. Really cool!
I'm more blown away by the simple fact that you can MAKE those things.
