They look great. Somehow your instruments have a very crisp and clean look that is really appealing.

Thanks, 

The tailpiece is just cut filed shaped and polished aluminum. The bridge is 2 pieces from the inside of a wood cigar box hiding a piezo inside, thin brass rod for saddle. If I told you the secret to my F holes it wouldn't be a secret anymore. lol, just cut with a fine blade in my electric sabre saw.  Thanks for the compliments, I love to build them and hope others like them too.  Piezos up in the bridge like that really sounds great too, just had to add that.

Shameless plug: these are both for sale.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/Squier?section_id=7120477

Nice!  The tailpieces look like they started life as extrusions, but what one gives you that reverse bend?  I only find L's, squares, and u-channels.

Gotta make a few extra bends yourself.
