I like 'em. Yes, even the skull tailpiece.
Nice to see something other than the typical Fender/Gibson inspired stuff.
This is sexy:

The skull tailpiece is the one thing that I'd change on those guitars... I'm just not a skull kinda guy. Otherwise, I like most of those guitars, except for the purple one with the three tele (?) pups and the weird semi-hollow guy.

What's with the output? That's not a XLR out... Where's the 1/4"?

I think these are cool, skull piece in and all. Wouldn't mind trying one out.

From Billy Boy Guitar myspace:
" The skull is my signature mark, but if the look doesn't suit your taste, your style or your band, I also offer a different shape."
...but I can't find pics of it anywhere.

That's a good question... didn't see a link to an "official" site on the myspace. Emailing him is probably the way to go, I assume. Hope you've all got a myspace!

They were posted before and I dig them because they look like something out of the movie Beetlejuice.

What is going
on with those frets?
If these are just markers, this is officially the most confusing neck marker system, like evar.

To add to that, they look like they are polished aluminum, which guys are using more these days. It is eco friendly compared to chrome plating, but I just don't like the look of it. Even when it polishes up nicely (which it does), it still has a bit of a cloudy look to it. Plus buffing out aluminum is a pain in the ass.

I think I like it, that's what I think.
All except the first one. The guard is wrong or summat.
