The black one is definitely an Ibanez but I think it is discontinued.

^^^ that was my first thought but upon comparing the pictures side by side I'm going to guess not.

Head stock, the shape behind the bridge, and well a bunch of things make me think they aren't Class. . . could be earlier ones though I guess

I don't know if this helps, but they kind of resemble a Hofner Shorty

Those headstocks seem incredibly like Bond instruments, but maybe I'm wrong? The middle one reminds me of Simon Girard's 8 string (Beyond Creation).

Those inlays look very specific. Esomething. There's a very "cyber" looking 9-string that keeps showing up in my Facebook feed -- I eventually followed him. Wasn't sorry. Lots of guitar porn. Does work for either Periphery or TesseracT. I'll come back and post if I find it.

Compare the headstocks. Plus the controls of the guitar on the right (see image below) is almost identical to the guitars in the above picture.

the headstock definitely looks like Conklin to me too, but the but body is different.

Hmmmm, headstocks don't seem right though. At least, not enough to confidently say these are Bonds. The middle one looks like an eight and rightfully so the headstock is smaller than the nine to the right, and yet the headstock on the nine looks closer to the Beyond Creation customs. That and the points at the top are clearly a bit off I guess.
