Dem sexy/dream guitars

Also some guitars have a volume drop when you split the humbucker.

That actually might be a useful song dynamic at times.

I mean, I love the sound and texture of the actives I have in my main guitar, but the downside is that they're always loud. And, of course, due to electronics, it's not like you can mix actives and passives. If I could mix the two, I totally would, for sake of dynamics (and sometimes -- rarely -- for clarity of a certain tone).
