The top one is a Ron Thorn California Special, which has been discussed in previous threads. The bottom ones are Carlos Lopez Brawlers. The baritone versions have been described in previous threads.
If you use instagram, there’s more at @thornguitars and @calopez_fender.

I was being a smarty-pants. I posted the Lopez Marauder II build a while ago, once in the Brawler baritone thread.countertext wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 11:05 amThe top one is a Ron Thorn California Special, which has been discussed in previous threads.

I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

Would like to have seen this new tremolo and bridge design on the new Maverick Dorados instead of the bigsby.vistavision wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 10:49 amI've noticed nobody's torn apart these three one-off Custom Shop offsets and I'm kinda disappointed by that. We need to be on the ball here this weekend so everybody up your game.
Thanks!

The top right is the Ron Thorn California Special. He built them before joining the CS and it's now been appropriated by Fender.
The other two look like different configurations of the Brawler discussed a little while ago.
Edit: oh geez, someone literally said all this above already

Re: What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?
That's okay. My original snarky, witchy post that read "I've noticed nobody's torn apart these three" got interpreted as sincere so I feel like I wasted everybody's time. On the last page a CS one-off and a Parallel Universe model got beat up like they were regular production models. I got cranky.

Re: What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?
I didn't see these pictures before. Guess they were posted in the thread that vistavision is talking about. Is that like a mustang vibrato unit on the first one?mbene085 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 7:56 pmThe top right is the Ron Thorn California Special.

No, he copped Fender’s Jazzmaster design. How else is a Jazzmaster uke supposed to look? In fact, they are quite different adaptations of the JM body and pickguard. Fender’s has sharp edges and binding.Unicorn Warrior wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 8:13 pmempyrean wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 4:04 pmDamn that looks familiar...

Re: What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?
I was being light hearted. I guess my point is that our forum members have been doing much cooler mods and designs for decades while Fender has been asleep.zeero9 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 12:09 amNo, he copped Fender’s Jazzmaster design.

Re: What’s Coming Down the Pike at NAMM?
My thoughts exactly. Given the hefty pricetag (2499 msrp), they could prob swing it, if they wanted to.CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 6:41 pmWould like to have seen this new tremolo and bridge design on the new Maverick Dorados instead of the bigsby.vistavision wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 10:49 amI've noticed nobody's torn apart these three one-off Custom Shop offsets and I'm kinda disappointed by that.

The new player series lead ii and lead iii reissues look really cool.
