Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

I had a set of GFS Dream 90s in my Tokai SG and I loved them to bits. Although they're not true P90 construction (the new Mean 90s are meant to be closer to an actual P90, but if you're going to be corksniffer-y, no HB-sized P90s are true P90s) but are "P90 voiced" they are sweee-eeet, and have something of the tele bridge pickup about them too. And they love pedals, which you'll be able to afford about three of with the money I've saved you versus the BAreknuckles.

I have a few Bareknuckles - and I couldn't rate them more highly.
In my Strat I have the Trilogy Suite.
In my Jaguar I have regular sized BKP92s and they are awesome.
Have heard good things about Mississippi Queens, especially in SGs. Check out their forum for sound clips and any advice.
