I just recently sent an email to McSwain guitars enquiring about the custom guitars made for Jared, and this was his reply:

Hey Guys!
Sorry it's taken a little while to get back to you. We get so many emails each day about Jared's guitars that I have to wait and answer a bunch of you at one time! Jared and Stephen designed both the Pythagoras and the Artemis together. Stephen made and carved each guitar by hand. We are unable to duplicate them exactly for someone else, since Jared was the original client with his unique vision. If you were interested in something similar with your own design, that could be done, starting around $7000. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
For the specific questions about the pickups, Stephen used Seymour Duncan Jeff Bec model for the Pythagorus, and Seymour Duncan Custom Custom for the Artemis.
Thank you so much for your interest!

So at least now we have an idea of about how much it would have cost him..
