> But yes, a lot of musicians don't like new, which is funny :) A lot of musicians are also highly technical artists who need and expect things to work a certain way and have practiced hours and hours within that certain way. And that's taken to the hundredth degree when you're talking about a working musician who performs for a living. Just think of Spinal Tap and the wireless guitar system as an example of the exact type of situation a musician doesn't want. A recent example are the automated tuners Gibson started putting on some of their guitars. That sounds amazing in practice -- I can hit my strings and bend them as hard as I want to and they'll just magically get back in tune! The reality (I didn't personally own one, so I can't share my experiences), was much worse, with many accounts of musicians playing on stage, only to have their Gibson manage to automatically detune itself. In regards to amps, guitarists are also notably attached to whatever tone they spent years dialing in. There is a tremendous difference in sound between any two amp models, especially with tube amps.
