Yes! Early in a player's development, there's a huge enthusiasm to try everything, and an equally great fear of missing something. At some point, you have to narrow your focus just enough to devote your attention to a reasonable number of choices. Solder up the wires, and move on to fiddling with something else. With two S/P switched humbuckers, and a Phase switch, there are 12 possible combinations. Add in different Tone/Volume balances between the neck and bridge pickups, and the permutations become infinite! How many options does anyone really need?

I may get another Strat at some point, just for a change once in a while. Or maybe a Telecaster (I've never had one of those). At the moment, I've got three 2-humbucker guitars that all sound different from each other. That's enough for now.
