Not my thing, I prefer to have a few tonal options... but I might cut the tone control off my bridge pickup, just to try it. I'm more of a neck player anyway, and that tone control gets a workout.
I couldnt cut out the controls. to me its like cutting more tonal options out of the equation your tone will become less varied, less mixed , I can control alot of tone with my hands but those knobs are too damn handy for me Its like saying, Ah I Need to lose weight, and cut off a whole leg to do so
F%^&*( EVH, He is just another guitarist, Yeah he may have sold millions of records , he can do what he wants with his tone and guitars, has no bearing on what I do, or want to achieve
