My pickups finally got into a guitar

So I haven't posted here in a long time, but back a couple of years I had some questions for the people here who answered and gave me good info--so thanks.

Well life and other stuff kept popping up, but after more than two years I finally got the SD pickups in my Les Paul copy that I was asking about back then.

It doesn't seem that long ago.

Here's the image I posted for a wiring diagram--the bridge pickup is a JB and the mini toggle should read that it's an On-on-on switch (And the title is wrong, it's a P-Rail & a JB) But I had it wired this way--and it works for the PRail to be P-90/Humbucker (Series)/P-90 and the JB is Series/single/parallel.

They sound great by themselves and together-

And here's a picture of what the guitar looks like with the pickups in it--the JB is a dark pink custom colour--I didn't order it that way--somebody else did, but they didn't buy it, and the store had this marked down trying to get rid of it.
Nobody wanted it--but it is a JB, and the price was too good to pass up.

So many of you may wonder who the heck I am, but I did pop up here a couple of years ago.

And I have sent a few people this way with their pickup and wiring questions.
Since this board was helpful in the info I used to get this done (I took it to someone who new what they were doing to do the pickup & switch install)
I had to come back & say--Thank you!

Welcome back.

Glad you got your guitar put together the way you wanted. I'll bet it sounds very sweet.

Gorgeous guitar...ugly JB. Put some black bobbin toppers on it.

Thanks everybody
And GuitarDoc--I wasn't sure about the JB colour before--but now that it's there--I kind of like it.

It pops a bit more visually in the photos than in real life, and from some angles looks red.

But for now, I like it--and so I'm leaving it.

And some others (FuseG4 for example, and perhaps TheLivingDead-who could be referring to the JB, the overall guitar or both) like it as well--so that's cool.

I wish I'd done this years ago.

It's like getting a new guitar.

Here's a couple of other pictures (I need a tripod or a steadier hand)
Here it is with my Les Paul Custom (which also has SD's in it)

(The specks on my Les Paul are not really there--either the camera, the lighting, the computer or some combination put them there--it is quite black...)

And here's an out of focus picture of the pickups...
