Wow! I like all three for different reasons! Very nice. Welcome to the board.

Thanks! Here's yet another hybrid I assembled:
It's a Mighty Mite alder body in a flamed maple Ocean turquoise finish. The neck is from a Model 3 I believe. I had the body routed for a deep Floyd recess. The Floyd is by Gotoh and is a great trem, very similar to the Ibanez Edge.
The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Screamin Demon, and the jury is still out on that one. Not sure if I like it in this guitar, I may stick it in something else and see how it performs. The neck and mid are DiMarzio HS-2 stacked singles. The vol knob push/pull switches the neck series/parrallel. The tone knob push/pull switches the mid to series/out of phase for that half-cocked wah sound.
The switch is a 5 way Schaller megaswith that autosplits the humbucker in different positions.

Hey it's mazi B, How difficult was it for you to get the nut cut on the tele with the schaller floyd?
And the last one with the gotoh is friggin sweet....
Did you route out the floyd recess yourself or????

It already had the nut shelf cut and the locking nut installed when I bought it. If I were to do it myself though, I'd probably just take a flat file and slowly file down the shelf behind the existing nut slot. Then I'd just get one of those locking nuts that installs from the top instead of the bottom. That way no need to drill holes all the way thru the neck. That's the kind that's on there now.
As for the Floyd recess on the blue one, a buddy of mine who's a luthier did me a favor and routed it for me. He did a great job!
