Exocaster

This is an electric guitar I designed to cater to heavier genres like metal and grunge. It includes features like beefy humbuckers (JB SH-4 bridge, Jazz SH-2 neck), a strat-style tremolo, and a fanned fretboard appropriate for drop tuning. The control panel is recessed to avoid accidentally hitting knobs or the pickup switch while playing aggressively -- a common issue present with many S-style guitars.

The Information Action Ratio

This semi-hollow body guitar is inspired by the aesthetic of the Artic Monkeys' album Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino (album cover art included for reference). Its name references the song Four Out of Five, which mentions a taqueria named the Information-Action Ratio in a hotel on the moon (very sci-fi). Includes Lace Jazz 251 Humbuckers, push/pull split coil tone pots for each pickup, and a Bigsby-style tremolo system.

Aerocaster

The concept behind this solid-body electric guitar is that it's essentially the same as a Fender Telecaster (in terms of wiring and pickup configuration), but with a Stratocaster neck and a custom body + 3-ply pickguard. For pickups, it features a Lace Sensor blue neck/red bridge set. Oh, and it also has a kill switch on the control panel for extra creativity.

To put it together in real life, one would need to manufacture the body and pickguard, then buy all other parts individually. Or, you could easily harvest said parts from an existing Telecaster, but you would still need the Stratocaster neck from somewhere else.
