Here's my newest (sort of) addition:

The story behind this is my careless, impulsive friend took his Epiphone Les Paul and chopped off the left horn to make the body symmetrical. He also sanded off the finish and wrote on it with a sharpie. Somehow he also managed to lose the TOM bridge and make the neck tilt upwards near the body. He eventually gave it to me, and as you can see I painted the Union Jack and put a GFS Mean 90 in the bridge, as well as replacing the lost bridge and fixing the neck straightness. The paint job wasn't hard, it just took a LOT of painter's tape and patience. The wires on the stock neck pickup were very short (from my friend cutting it out...) and I hated it so I didn't even bother to put it in.
BTW the Mean 90 sounds so good! And to think I never would like the sound of an Epi/Gibson...I was wrong.

It's a Marlin "Nasty" bought in 1988 for £99 brand new
right on the change over when Hohner took over the distrubutuon on Marlin stuff from British Music Strings - hence no fish at the 12th fret.
Totally modded by me as a teenager but it should look something like the superstrat Goots not long picked up here: http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45459
top row: Marlin Nasty, AXL SRO Badwater strat (on ebay this evening) 1990 RG550, 1989 Desert Sun Yellow RG550
bottom: Squier Bronco Bass conversion project, JimDeacon/SX 24"Strat, Pink thing for my daughter , although it's bags of fun to play!

Cleaned up my Epi after about 2-3 years of collecting dust (literally, it looked grey). Sorry about the rubbish photos, I only have my phone.

You cant really see the grain there but its nice.
Here with the strat my girlfriend got my for Christmas;

Because of my crappy photography skills, the weird yellow gas that seems to have filled my house and my camera actually being a phone, you cant see that the strat has a mint pickguard/cream pickups which I assume is standard on the 60s series but cant be bopthered to look into it.
