Same thing for me, although must say I play a lot around with the toneknob and sometimes even the volume knob makes a huge difference on tone (with pedals f.e.).
Can understand the price tag. Marr put a lot of work into this with his guitar tech. As opposed to other signatures who just slap their name on it. I'd love one, but 2k? Fuck off haha
Stick someone famous up there and ancient, common knowledge becomes like a revelation. Give me my Variax JTV-59 any time. "took a lot of thinking about"... like where the f**k did I put my soldering iron and those switches I picked up from Maplin.
