Does a roughcast JB sound much different than a polished one? I've compared roughcast to polished in vintage output pickups, and you can hear/feel a difference, but I never compared them in higher output pickups.
Most stores take a guitar out of the box, tune it, and put it up on the shelf. You are lucky if they tune it, much less anything more in-depth than that.
Both of these are fantastic ideas. I love the battery idea with the meter, and the movable plugs, which makes the wiring much neater. This is an area in pedalboard design that has needed an upgrade for a long, long time.
So, which one sounds the best? They all seem close enough that someone who like the JB wind would probably dig any of them, and those who don't...won't.
Yeah, I was just going by what all the demo guitars at NAMM had. I suppose you could set it up with all kinds of different setups, really. But yeah, those demo guitars all had 2 push/pulls.
