Here are 2 of my favorite builds.

Flame Koa & Black Limba soloists.

 
Parts mutt I built. Painted the body.

This one is a Kramer USA reissue body that I bought bare from the guys that were building them in TN.Painted it and added a Jamerson birdseye maple neck,Floyd Rose and Duncan JB. Currently my #1.

This one I bought the body loaded, did the Holoflash paint job on it and added the neck.

This one was one of those faded brown studios I bought it bare off Ebay. Grain filled it and painted it,added Dimarzios and the rest was stuff I had laying around.

wow, those are amazing man!!! how did you do it???
 
Wish I had better pictures of this, but tiny ones will do.

I "built" a Tele, Fender HW1 Body, Musikraft neck. Easily one of the nicest necks I've played. Quarter Sawn Maple, Premium Birds Eye fretboard, with a Thin D .75 to .81 Profile. It was all unstained, could have really made the board pop, the pictures don't do it justice. Sold it a long time ago because I'm a fucking idiot.

Here is my favorite build. Built with Warmoth maple body and birds eye maple neck. I built it and did the nitro finish myself with an amber and orange tint blend. I put a Bare Knuckles VH2 pickup in it. Love this thing! My two builds are actually my favorite guitars! They are the best playing and sounding that I have owned.

My other build is on the far left. Solid black finish. Alder with a maple neck and a SD Custom '78 pickup. All Warmoth parts again.

I went for a mix of modern and vintage, mostly modern with a hint of vintage cosmetics ala the sonic blue and vintage Kramer Pacer beak headstock

Roasted Quarter Sawn Maple Neck with Pau Ferro Board, Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets
Light Weight Sonic Blue Alder Body with Contoured Heal
Recessed Original Floyd Rose w/ Fat Brass Block
Duncan Custom Shop Warren Demartini Zebra Set Wound by MJ with 5 way super switch
Gotoh Tuners

I love how the neck turned out. I used the Ernie Ball method of Tru Oil and Wax. I highly recommend the roasted necks. i lover how dark the are and they resonate wonderfully. This put together very nicely and required very little tweaking.

Baseball is my newest, but I didn't paint it. It was airbrushed by Dan Lawrence. RG7620 neck, RG7420 body, and an Edge Pro 7 from an RG1527.

All the others are at either parts guitars or ones I refinished.

Not exactly a full build, but I got it as a body and neck project.

Pattern body and Warmoth neck.

It was a full guitar when I got it, but it was in pretty sad shape. The frets didn't even reach across the full neck. I did the inlays (they look better in the photo than in real life) and a fret job and setup. It's still hot garbage, but at least it looks kind of interesting.

There are a couple more I cant find photos of, all from Warmoth bodies and necks...
 
The "from-scratch" builds. Posting every parts guitar i have assembled would take up 3 pages.

There are a few more from-scratch builds, but they are mostly just normal Tele or Strats

This is a custom body shape a buddy and I came up with. Mixture of a Travis Bean style bout with Fender Lead series horns. I made mine tangerine and his jet black.

I built 5 Driskill parts guitars. Neck through, PRS bridges, Shaller tuners, WCR pickups, stainless steel frets.
The yellow one has a Carvin set neck with ebony board. The S/S/H Lollar Blackface and Low wind Imperial humbucker.
