FUCK! There is something wrong with my head! I went to a store and as if I hadn't just spent basically all I had to spend on that Meathead I walk out with one of these:

It was a decent deal and I've been eyeing these since forever, but still I must have lost my mind!
Well, on the sunny side: It sounds great, I really like the options the switch gives you (you have the choice of two different caps in the tone stack or a complete override) so it is possible to go from chimey to grimey at the flick of a switch and I think that is great. I admit the option of a coil split would have been a nice touch too, but really I have not felt much need for a single coil in the few hours I have this baby. The humbucker-esque pickup is very chimey and clear when you override the tone control. It does not have the string separation that is so great about single coils but it does have its merits. i was afraid of it being too hot so that it would not get along with my pedals that are mainly tailored to my SC guitars, but the AMG and my pedalboard get along nicely!
Also she plays really well.
But I just don't know what the fuck has ridden me to buy this. Now I need to think about selling off stuff so I won't be fucked by the end of the month. But there is nothing I want to sell. Dammit!
Oh well, I guess this is what the GAS thread was really meant to be.

edit for decent pic
