I was there not long ago back and snapped some pics. My grandpa is still doing modifications and tweaksHe just changed the middle humbucker from the former PAF to a EMG 85 (I think). There's also this ugly plastic cover for the area between the tone/volume knobs, which hosted 6 small individual switches for specific cutoffs or boosts for each pickup. He has now removed these switches and is planning to get a luthier to build a proper wooden cover instead of the plastic one, but for the moment that's how it is. Still one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen.

Swapped out a humbucker?! FOR AN EMG?! I'm sure he knows best, of course!
