From left to right:
Aria Pro II LP Custom copy, it has a glued on 5 piece lam neck! a nice poly finish(like all of course), multi solid wood sandwiched mahogany body like the Gibson Norlin era, MOP or could be plastic rectangular inlays, a typical Gibson pickup ring fits on this guiatr w/o modification. There's a set of Duncan humbuckers in this, I don't know what model(s)
Kent 335/330 copy, does not have the solid block of wood running down the middle, has a 3 piece bolt on neck, pearloid rectangular inalys, bigsby copy, the pickup rings did not match that of a typical Gibson so I had to fashion pickup rings out of laminated black plexi, the pickup rings were flimsy black plastic and even the dims of the import HBers did not match that of a Gibson. I ended up installing a set of P90 in a humbucker size Kent Armstrong pickups from WD Music Products because their good reasonably priced units and it's a "Kent" part.
Univox Barney Kessel copy, it has a glued on 3 piece neck, spruce top which I don't know if it's solid or ply, I bet it's ply, like the Kent this one had the same whacky offsized pickups and pickup rings except they were stamped out metal so I made new ones like the Kent, I ended up installing a set of DeArmond Goldtone pickups I got off Ebay because I wanted somethnig other than a PAF look, they're kinda microphonic but they sound great for jazz fingestyle.
On all 3 there are new frets, bone nuts, Grover Rotomatic tuning keys, new CTS pots, Switchcraft switches and jacks. and Gotoh TOM bridges. I let my clients strum on these to sample my work and see how a cheesy import guitar can be made a stellar player if they wish to put some money in theirs.
Here's a closeup of the BK copy neck pickup ring I made, it was fun filing and fitting the bottom to conform with the arched/curved top:
