getting back on topic. i think the idea makes sense because you have nothing to get between the neck and the pickup. thats a cool idea and all but there could be problems. noone besides ed roman has actually done this, and all we have is his wishy washy not very credible word to go by. so until someone more experienced executes this properly and makes a guitar that is about the same and then posts clips of the 2 guitars playing on the same setting i think we should just give it a rest.
