Beautiful work. Are these scratch builds or kits? Either way they look great. I’m especially interested in that Danelectro. I’ve been thinking I need to get into a new kit project but something different.
Thanks, All are scratch built, except for necks. I buy raw fretted necks, then carve the headstock shapes and apply finishes.
Here's a link to the build:

Picked this up today after selling one of my others and therefore under Regulation 24, Subsection 8, Paragraph B which deals with an empty space in a guitar rack I was forced to spend the money on another. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

This is my personal Holy Grail Tele, a Baja model with a nice fat soft "V" neck, vintage 50s Broadcaster pickups, 4-way switching, and an S1 switch for out of phase tones. It's a 2017 (they're no longer made) but in like new condition. Previous owner is a first class country picker who kept it in showroom condition. I can cross this off my bucket list now.

I’ve got a Baja Tele too. Just like yours, only mine is heavily modified… But agree with you on the neck. Fenders V necks are very comfortable.

I've been wanting one for years. In fact it was on my most recent list of bases still uncovered. No sooner did I post that response than this one showed up locally a couple weeks ago. I gave it a few days to see if the GAS wore off. It didn't so I set my plan in motion.

I listed 3 of my guitars hoping that one would sell and liberate some funds. I got a lot of response from lookers but until today no serious buyers when two showed up for my G&L Comanche. The first guy offered me $100 less the second paid my asking price.

With the Comanche sold I messaged the seller of the Baja I was ready to buy and luckily it was still available and for $50 less than originally listed. So with cash in hand from the sale of the Comanche I headed out to buy the Baja. It's in mint condition and bone stock.

As much as I typically love modifying Teles I can't think of anything I'd change on a Baja. I love the neck, the pickups are very similar to CS Nocasters, and it already has 4-way switching. Those are the three things I often modify so there's no need to do it.

I'll miss the Comanche but those are still made and therefore easy enough to reacquire if I want. So three people got exactly what they wanted out of the day. Can't do much better than that.
