I have two guitars in my photos that I can’t identify, would love to see if maybe you can…

The first one (the orange guitar) I unfortunately dont have a great photo of. It’s semi hollow with an almost inverted rickenbacker f-hole, dual p90s, appears to be diamond inlays, 3+3 headstock and a bound body. Reminds me of a Reverend sensei but that’s not it


The second one (grey/green) I believe to be a German luthier, but I can’t seem to locate it at all

First one looks like a custom duesenberg?

Second one kinda looks like a maton maybe
 
Actually just figured out the orange one. It’s a schecter semi hollow tempest

The grey-green one still escapes me though

That is a Duesenberg. I owned 2 of them, still have one.

I see how one might say that but I don’t believe that is correct…
While the tremolo is the Duesenberg style, it does not have the branding that dueses always do (the D in the oval shape). No “D” for the pickup selector switch either.

Additional details would be Duesenberg has always used traditional f-hole designs and the horn on this guitar is much sharper than the starplayer design.

The photo I posted is from the maker’s Facebook page (which I foolishly didn’t bookmark or capture any other telling marks). I have gone through the Duesenberg page and this guitar is not on it. I seem to recall it being a much smaller luthier I wasn’t familiar with, but that’s obviously not helping much at the moment ?

Duesenberg sells trems as aftermarket. The pickup design and trem made me think custom shop from duesenberg but reading now it was from a small builder, I'm of no help...
