The bridge I picked up from Callaham, the neckplate's also from there, and the pickups are Bareknuckles, a BKP-90 in the neck and a Piledriver in the bridge, and they're wired into a 4-way switch for paralell and series wiring.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, the only mod I made to it after it was "finished" was to put one of those Floyd Rose style string retainers on the peghead to get a better break angle over the nut, which had a positive effect on the skinny strings, but not so much on the chunky ones.
