Who can do these mods?

I have the opportunity to purchase an RG7 for a dirt cheap price. I have some killer mods in mind & I need to know who I should go to to get this done. HELP!

Here's my ideas...

Refinish with Emerald Green Flamed Maple Top on body & headstock
Creme binding on Body & headstock (white Ibanez logo)
Replace fretboard with Birdseye Maple fretboard w/ no inlays
Route pickup cavities for EMG707s
Fill in 5-way pup selector & replace with 3-way LP style pup selector

And lastly, could someone make up a mockup of this design? My home computer is currently offline & I can't upload that Kisakae (?) program on my work computer. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Here's Pawel's very rough mockup from Jemsite. Thanks, Pawel.

a luthier could definitely do that for you, but I cringe to think of the cost.
Flamed maple on the headstock is obviously just a veneer, but a serious maple cap transplant wont be cheap, nevermind the binding.

birds eye maple isnt cheap either. You might want to talk to warmoth about this project.

EKG or LGM come to mind, as a lot of their work is customizinf RG's for people...

I bet Jim Soloway could do it as well, but I don't know if he openly does custom shop work.
