T-Style Guitar Builds One and Two

I built these two T-style guitars last year but didn’t really consider them to be finished because I used aftermarket necks as placeholders until I could build my own. Well, now they’re finished.

Over the last week I’ve upgraded both guitars with necks of my own construction and given them full setups. Here are the specs:
