I won't compete against Mike with the quality of the pics, but there ya go. I felt like showing off. All guitars setup and wired by yours truly. The model 1a (strat ish Charvel) has a nut made by me. It's not great :yell: but I managed to make her playable which was a big challenge 
I need to work on the nut a bit again. Also the pickups in it aren't definitive.
The model 4 (blue Charvel) has a FullShred with a Ceramic magnet and a weird wiring that I thought of and Artie helped me with a while ago (thanks Artie). He also provided the CoolRails. Artie kicks ass! Dave sold me the FullShred, Brent the OBL, I got the Custom from Stevo and mags from Brent again (of which a BIG ceramic mag is in the Custom that's in the Kramer) so thanks to all these great dudes
The Kramer has a push pull volume pot that when is in the upwards position, bypasses the volume control to be on fullblast. It's a nifty feature but still not the handiest. I think I'll probably end up setting her up for drop C with 11s, but a .52 on the low E. Right now she's in E, the 1a is in drop D (she needs a high e) and the model 4 is in drop C.
They're not done yet. The model 4 probably will get a new middle pickup someday, and the model 1a will get a matt black pickguard routed H/slanted S, the model 4's midboost and maybe a Distortion (I could score a cheap JB and use the oversized Ceramic magnets I have left). I think I'll leave the Stagemaster as she is. What else would she need anyway
Ah and the model 4 could do with an OFR too since the FullShred is tremspaced (The Jackson JT6 Floyd has standard spacing). Both Kramer and model 4 will get a tremolno though, I love them too much to decide on tunings.
I sold my drumkit to get most of this stuff.
