'06 Gibson with P-Rails. It is re-wired to V/T/T with 1M pots. This guitar will eventually be getting a pair of vintage wound Phat Staples. I already have them; I just need to have them converted from nickel hardware to gold hardware. Then the P-Rails will get converted back to the stock nickel hardware and placed in my G&L Ascari, with Triple Shots. I also might be refinishing the guitar in a dark hunter green, and replacing the stop tailpiece with a Maestro Vibrola. It will be getting a gold ABR-1 and 6-in-line vintage-style Kluson keystones as well.
My Dean Z Professional. I bought it used like this, with the OEM '59N, a Dimebucker, and the OEM JB in the case. I almost immediately sold the Dimebucker and re-installed the JB. I will eventually be sending both OEM pickups back in to Duncan to be converted into Seths. I have rewired it to V/T/T with 1M pots. I consider this guitar to have been a steal at $600, minus the $50 I got for selling the Dimebucker.

Here's my "Explorer", which is nowhere near as nice as the other guitars in this thread.
Warmoth body, no name Neck, and Duncan Designed HB-103's with a push/pull coil split on the volume pot

Yeah it's around 15 years old. I ordered it back in 02 or 03.

I don't have one but the best sounding Explorer I have heard or played was a Gibson with Duncan Antiquity pickups. Absolutely magical in that guitar.

The quilt on that Hamer is awesome! Will always GAS for a Hamer standard...
Here is mine. 2002 Explorer. I guess photo bucket has opened back up?? I was running a Custom 8; 59b4 in it, but I think I have a Distortion in the bridge now..
Cant tell from this pic, but the pickguard and truss cover are mirror and the pickup rings are chrome..
(look white in this pic)

Chapman Ghost-fret std. with a Custom 5. Sweet guitar, sounds downright evil.
