I've picked up a few guitars and parts recently and finally finished getting them together. The first is an Epiphone Oxblood Wraparound. It is really nice to play, but the hardware needed to be upgraded! I have a lot of old parts around and so replaced all the plastic and metal, and also put in a really old double cream SD JB (so old there is no embossing on the baseplate) and an old Pearly Gates:

After changes:
I also got a new Strat neck & body (an MJT daphne blue body and a birdseye maple neck). These are the finished guitars (I reconfigured a few strats to get here!);
The blue has an Anagre/Pau Ferro neck and BK 62 strat set. Great SRV sound. The blonde has Slowhand/A5 Apache Neck/A5 Apache Bridge (in that order). It has some great clean sounds but can get a really great Hendrix tone and rock when you turn things up!
Here's a shot with the Epiphone:
And just hiding at the front is an acoustic. It is a Majestic, made in New Jersey by the guy who repairs a lot of my guitars here (especially my acoustics). I have wanted one of his guitars for a while, then this turned up second hand in my local guitar store. It is also mahogany back and sides (which I wanted). It is great to play and the workmanship is amazing. Here is a picture:
