The first is a T/ASAT-style, semi-hollow, single pickup, no controls and pickup wired directly to the jack.
The top is ash, the back mahogany. The pickup is a G&L Z-coil, with the coils reversed.

In retrospect I would've liked to lightly flame-treat the top to make the grain really pop, but it's still lovely as it is.
The bridge and neck came from a G&L Tribute ASAT special; I was going to order a custom neck from Sound Guitar Works but this one played very nicely and the tuners had been upgraded to Schaller locking tuners, so I've kept it for now.
The top gets down to 3.5 mm thick for most of the area either side of the centre, so it's got great resonance. The downside is there's a bit of neck dive, so I'm looking for ways to make the neck lighter when I make a neck for it.
The little block of wood at the base of the neck is an "oops" turned into a feature. We routed the neck pocket too long, and my partner's Dad suggested shaping the fill-in block of wood to look like a feature. We've both signed our initials on it, so now I really do have my own "signature" guitar :icon_lol:
It plays wonderfully and sounds fantastic. It's like with fuzz faces, having fewer things in the "signal chain" means that everything that is there is proportionally more important. String choice, pickup height, and the condition of your nails or plectrum make big differences.
I grew up playing classical guitar, so I wanted something that would be very responsive to playing dynamics and articulation, and this does just that - except that a classical guitar goes from whisper quiet to sort of loud, and this goes from loud to "ow! That's loud!" with an amp with lots of headroom.
The second is a 12-string, semi-hollow, Starcaster shape

The top is oak, the back also mahogany.
Pickups are G&L jumbo MFD single coils from the same donor ASAT special (I sold off the body and made back a few dollars

The controls are wired with individual volume pots (Gibson "50s style" so that they'll blend without the guitar going silent if one is zeroed), and master treble and bass for the other two pots (a-la G&L PTB; I had to put a 250k resistor across the output jack to get the right impedance for the bass control to work).
The neck is from a Pitbull guitars kit, and so far has been just great. It's 48 mm wide, so the string spacing is nice and comfortable.
The pickups are perfect for a 12-string, heaps of clarity and chime, and the volume/tone circuit gives a huge amount of flexibility for individual or blended pickup sounds. I can play this through an acoustic amp to approximate the sound of an acoustic 12 string for recording, or an electric guitar amp for some 12 string rawk
