Toaster in the neck position? Absolutely! Do it and don't look back; you'll be glad that you did. Congrats on the new plank!

Toaster will have a little less output than the high gain, somewhat noticeable, but the toaster will be clearer sounding and more articulate, especially on the E string below A.

I like the sound (no pun intended, but hey, I like puns) of the clearer articulation on the E below A. We do play a couple songs in drop D (a tuning I hate- I'm a standard tuning guy) but I think if it's more articulate on deeper notes, perhaps it may be a good thing. But what the heck, I can always swap it out again. I think I'll do it if I can ever find one.
Thanks for the feedback!

Jokes tend to "pop up" here from time to time...

Though no one has been "burned" by them yet....
