I can get my hands on a very good deal on a Charvel model 1a, which looks just like this:

I'll add a metallic grey pickguard with H/Slanted single coil, maybe the rewire the whole thing and put my Jackson J50BC in the bridge position. Then when I have enough money, I'll cover the 6 holes that held the bridge and drill two for the fulcrum wilkinson tremolo. I may install locking tuners and I'll most likely get a graphtech nut on it.

Wish me luck, and suggest away if you have some ideas :D

That's how she looks in real. For that price it's quite likely that I'll go for it
I think XSSESIVE should be proud :D
The main problem is that the trem is a 6 screws one... I'd like to replace it with a single locking wilkinson trem. Would it be hard? Just fill the 6 holes but then it'd look bad and there'd be some paint respray to do right?

That's nice man, looks awesome. How do you make those pictures of the guitar in your first post?
 
Re: My next (and first) project:

That looks nice! I would leave it stock if it were me buying it, but this is your project, so don't listen to me :)
 
Re: My next (and first) project:

Well I already heard that it'd be pointless trying to upgrade the trem and use a graphtech nut and locking tuners due to the headstock shape, so I won't bother I guess. But I'll still upgrade the pickguard I think.
