Also speaking of the Albert.. why has no one done the Electric Dragon 80000V jag?

Man I was thinking the same thing.
I really like the rebuilt one too...but it doesn't look playable

Push-pull pots. Just give me a toggle. It is so much easier to flick a switch than grab and pull a knob (and yes, that's what she said).

i think for some situations, push pull pots are ideal in that they save body real estate, and i think the level of difference in ease is generally a moot point because you seldom need to go from single coil to humbucker fast enough to necessitate a switch.

also, theoretically push-push pots would be even quicker than a toggle switch.

actually come to think of it, why the fuck dont push pull pots work like soft switches? someone get on that.

Fender used something like that in a couple of their weird guitars (that stupid MIDI one had them, I think). The had a center soft touch switch in them, at least, I think they did.

Maybe on back-routed bodies it would be ideal, but on top-routed guitars real estate can be changed. And switching from single coil to humbucker quickly could really be important in, for instance, a solo or verse/chorus change. I don't mean mini-toggles either. More like a pickup selector. Plus push-pull pots don't have a great taper IMO. They are not nearly as consistent as a regular pot (much higher tolerances).

Soft switches wouldn't be bad, but they would have to be active to do the switching. Personally I hate the idea of having to worry about switching batteries (which aren't cheap) just to change coil splitting. But that's kind of a personal preference.

Chocolate syrup is messy
Relics, put your own playing wear on them you lazy fuck.
Artist models that are just the standard with a different pickup.
90% of artist models in general.
Any more reissues of the guitar/bass you reissued last year.
The same freaking colors from 1957
Changing the pickup and calling it a different model.

For the actual guitars:
- Strat input jacks
- offset bridge systems (love the sound, hate how fragile they can be)
- 8-12 month minimum wait times for rickenbackers (at least in Toronto)
- gibson pricing
- really pointy guitars
- "modern" pickup voicings

For guitar players:
- people who expect me to share gear with them
- people who act as if I owe them something, and want me to share my gear with them
- people who ask to use my amp after i said no, and then they show up to the gig without an amp after me telling them over the internet I wouldn't let them use it and then getting mad at me, and i laugh at them, make them run it through the board and sound like horse manure
- insincere bands who have insincere members
- the forum hive mind that manifests itself in all of us

Squier versions of Jazzmaster. It waters it down and makes it less special.
This probably makes me a snob, but so be it.

For some reason the trend of, "all pickups need to be hum cancelling otherwise their pieces of shit," really infuriating.

you keep all your smart modern guitars
i''ll take fender, gibson, martin, and rickenbacker

after waiting @ GC for two hours waiting on my amp trade...
Anything that is at a GC... needs to go away..

And what you want can't be done by a super-switch?

Mo' toggles, mo' fun. I'm not a huge fan of strat-style switches. Again though, this is just personal preference. The main point was down with push-pull. No pun intended.
