The bigest problems I see with this are:
1. No indicators with anything... especially with the "z" presets. How do you know when you are on preset 1 or 12?
2. What happens to the switching unit and the sound from the guitar when the battery dies?
Other than those two issues, great idea. Electronic switching takes up so much less space than mechanical switching. Can you imagine the bank of mechanical switches need to get all the combos of split coils, in phase, out of phase, and pickup selectors that would be required to do this?! Especially on a 3 pickup guitar.
