I've got:

PRS SE Soapbar II with BKP-91s
Ltd Viper 400 with C-Pig/MQ
Fender 50s Classic Strat with Slow Hands on the way (ordered this morning)

I've also got a pair of Ibanez NDM1s, one with a EMG81/60 set in that I'm quite happy with and have no intention of swapping. The other has been stripped of it's gaffa tape and is more Talman than NDM. It's got a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the Bridge, A BKP Mother's Milk in the middle and a Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro in the neck...  I like it, it's certainly very different! Though I've been thinking about swapping the SD and A2P for BKP equivalents. Purely because they just seem to sound that much better than any other pups I've ever heard. Time for another thread methinks!

When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

I've got...

* Gibson Les Paul standard >>> Mules in both positions
* Epi (Japan) Les Paul jr >>> AIV BKP91 (though this guitar is listed on ebay at present)
* Fender '72 Tele Custom >>> vintage Wide Range humbucker in neck, Fender CS nocaster in bridge
* Epi Korina Explorer >>> EMGs, 81 and 60 (also up for sale, though not listed on ebay yet)

Lately I've been finding the Tele a bit unsatisfactory - the neck isn't plummy enough to fall into humucker territory (a neck Mule absolutely kills the WR) and it doesn't have the snap/funk I want from a Fender neck pickup.  I can see myself fitting a Strat neck pickup in this thing eventually - something that will nail the Wind Cries Mary tone.

The bridge pickup in the Tele is too pokey in the mids - great if you want to throw lots of overdrive at it, but I'm wanting a more relaxed midrange and open tone.  Will most likely be putting a BKP in here very soon if my band start gigging.

In my LP I have that well used DiMarzio combination of a Super Distortion in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck, plus a few extra switches for coil split, parallel/series switching and phase reversal. Sounds great.
CERAMIC NAILBOMBS + Ibanez RGT42DX and PAINKILLERS + Ibanez RG321MH and A5 NAILBOMBS + Ibanez RG1550

I think that's it - are you interested Fernando?  They're great guitars!  :D

the tone cap is a Paper In Oil type

Was that what yours came with?  I thought mine had pretty standard Japanese electronics.  :?

If my payment was in £, surely... as it is not and my currency is 1/4 than £, don't think I will get it :(
