    After a few days of work I am as good as done.
    I still need to take some photos at daylight but for now this should give you an idea.

    Short overview of what actually happened:
    Tele:
    Grover tuners
    Truoil on neck
    Stained body (red, mahagony and black front, black on sides and back)
    Routed pickup hole
    Belly cut and smoothed neck area
    Extended ferrule holes
    Lacquered body
    Duncan Blackout Pickups (neck pu hidden)
    Graph Tech string trees

    JM:
    Grover tuner
    Extended belly and arm cut aswell as slightly reshaped horn
    Stained/oiled body, fretboard and neck (mahagony and some red on neck)
    Painted scratchplate, tremolo cover and black control plate
    Copper foil in cavities
    Warman pickups (12gauge and twin loco)
    Coil tap pushpull poti for single coil humbuckers
    Coil tap and split switch for humbucker
    Phase reverse push pull poti for mid pickup
    Switch altered to activate all pickups in second position
    Blocked tremolo
    22nF Orange drip cap on tone poti

    I am still waiting for the cap for the active pickups and I need to install string trees on the jazzmaster which I currently test on the tele. Now I need to do truss rod and intonation when I am set on string gauge.

    After playing on the guitars I started thinking about sanding the necks thinner. They are fatter than my bass neck. One three way switch died on me. As it was a cheap circuit style swich I can't say if it was broken or was fried while soldering.

    Sadly the grover tuners are to small for string thicker than .60. For now I cut them to fit inside the locking hole. I will try to get it a little bigger.

    Cheers
