Dude, that really is smokin' hot, congrats - 27" scale length, I take it? Hope you're tuning pretty low! What woods? (neck-thru I assume) And man, I seriously love that Agile headstock, especially in reverse 
Thanks!^^
I will not tune it that low (Drop C), but I really like a high string tension for the really really tight and fat sound...
Yeah it´s a neck through and its a mahargony body with maple top and a maple neck.
But I´m not very expierienced when it comes to EMGs... I heard that some PU cavitys are not big enough and i hope they will fit
The headstock gives me goose bumps, too I´m very picky when it comes to headstocks.

I´m very picky when it comes to headstocks.Yeah man, right on, sounds like it'll be awesome Even if the EMG's don't fit the cavity, you just get yourself a Dremel and use that rotary sanding bit (first actual bit on the left in that pic) you can rout away a lot of the epoxy stuff the EMG's are sealed in without doing any damage so they fit in the cavity (like I had to do here to get them into my guitar) - and I do think once you get EMG's, you'll fall in love (I suggest getting the ZW set though, so you can try both the 81 and 85 in the bridge via the quick-connect cables and see which you like better, it may be the 85 with a maple neck-thru guitar)

Thats a pretty cool solution, better than routing the guitar body. I thought about getting the Zakk Wylde Set.
BTW: Anyone tried these? http://www.q-tuner.com/
Sounds quite interesting, too.

Yeah they are all very sexy... But I wish they would offer more 6-strings.
I will buy a Zakk Wylde Set and hope they will fit. Will definitely document the installation and give before/after soundsamples. Maybe I will even combine it with a little guess-my-amp session

Dude, do NOT waste your money on Q-Tuners, they aren't *anything* like a normal pickup. You will have to crank your gain like crazy and it still won't sound right. I have heard of toooooo many people getting them and saying that. Better off with standard passives (SD, DiMarzio, etc.) or active EMGs/Blackouts.
