Hey Zag,
I've checked that clip the day you posted a link, but left the comment for later, then completely forgot about it. A month at the seaside does miracles for memory. You just forget it all.
Yes ... I don't really understand the point of it. All the wirrings connections and whatever have much less impact than tone pot at half or at full. That's my approach at least. As far as I'm concerned it's only important guitar to be comfortable to play and to stay in tune.
