This will probably weird people out... Just about all of these were modded as I can't leave stuff alone.

Sold (pics here):

Ltd EC200QM - My first guitar. It went through a range of EMGs (89R set, 81/60, sure it might have even had an 89R/60A in there at some point...), Sperzels, 18v mod, yadda, yadda.
Edwards E-LP90-LTS - Again had lots done to it over the years as I like to experiment (missus). Started out as a JB/59, then SD/PAF, then Jimmy Paige wiring, then not, then a pair of Phat Cats. I was an idiot to sell it and to this day cannot remember why in the hell I did!
Gibson Voodoo SG - Possibly the last new one in the country when I bought it (I think I phoned around everywhere to get it). Hated the stock pups, ended up with a Duncan Distortion and a 59 in there. Sperzelised also. Sold because for what it cost I decided I was unworthy of it, given my ineptitude of playage.
ESP Eclipse ACSB - Bought it from a friend as it was just a thing of extreme beauty. One day I dinged it and was mortified. I never really took it out of the case after that so sold it because I never used it. Had an 81/60 set in there.
Fender Partsocaster - Technically I put it together for me but ended up giving it to my brother for his 40th. Really nice spec. Still on the EMG thing at this point so it had (and still has) one of the 89Rs out of the EC200 and a pair of SAs. Sperzels, Fender hardware, Mighty Mite woody bits, etc.

Essentially I came to the conclusion I prefer cheaper guitars. Odd I know, but they suit me and I don't feel as guilty when I dick around with them.

Current stock (pics here):

Ltd Viper 400 - Love it. Big heavy thing with a BKP C-Pig and MQ in it.
PRS SE Soapbar II - Loaded with a pair of BKP-91s, fitted with an intonatable tonepros bridge and some fancy locking grovers. This thing is one of the most awesome axes I've ever heard (incidentally was my first BKP loaded axe...). It's just awesome and totally kicks so far above it's price tag it's untrue.
Fender Classic '50s Strat - A set of Slowhands in this with a baseplated bridge and stock wound middle. A recent addition. I love strats and missed having one. This Mexi proved to be much better than I expected.
2x Ibanez NDM1 - Noodles sigs. One has an 81/60 set in it and sperzels. The other is currently in pieces again and is probably going to get a set of BKPs. As it stands it's now natural finished, has a Mothers Milk middle, a Stormy Monday on the way for the neck and potentially another BKP for the bridge. If not a Super Distortion will be going back in, but not before I've stuck a cover on it.

No, I understand exactly what you mean!  I have mostly mid-priced guitars, all of them modded one way or another - I was thinking the other day that I only have one guitar which I regard as "finished" (there are a few others which don't need anything doing, but I'm contemplating a few neck swaps and pickup changes).

But I also have a couple of PRS guitars.  There's no doubt they are "better" than my cheapies, and so far I've felt like they're "too good" to be tampered with... which spoils the fun a bit.  But I am starting to come round to the idea of doing some non-destructive mods on them.  :)

I like your stripped NDM1 - I was never very keen on that Talman/Noodles shape, but it looks brilliant with the natural finish and black parts!  :D

*2 red top twenty electrics  - still got 1 1/2 in parts
*satallite electric - another one that went on a bonfire but i still have the funky P-90 style pickups

Amps, just mere memories:

Sovtek MIG50 (part exchanged it for the 50w Marshall.... silly mistake, was a really cool amp, and i so wish i still had it; my biggest regret!)

[WezV]

i love those sovtek amps, my local guitar shop had one in for years when i was a teenager and i missed out on it by a week or two in the end

[ToneMonkey]

Wez - what's the Stew Mac Dreadnaught like?  I've been looking at them for a while.

[WezV]

very nice!!  I didnt do much more than throw it together, no brace shaping or tone tweaking, but it still sounds great as it is

Cheers. Originally it was going to be painted daphne blue, but due to oddness with glue seepage from the gaffa tape, that never happened. Luckily the wood wasn't to bad and oiled up far better than expected. It's gonna end up with chrome covered humbuckers in it. I'm hoping that doesn't turn out too jarring as it does look kinda cool right now.

[sgmypod]

wez you threw together where did you get parts from for this one
