I do not want to play one all of the time.They just don't feel right on me.I have guitar player friends and that is all that they play,and to watch them just makes my jaw drop.They are ugly looking,uncomfortable to strap on.Yet they have a unique sound.If that is the sound the producer wants I am well versed in operating that guitar.I would never use one onstage.I don't like single coil pickups,occasionally I get that for tone purpose yet I want to be sure the sound is going all the way to the back of the room.Big and fat baby!
