The funny thing about this whole guitar scenario is that back in the 60's when I was in a band with guitars, we found the string noise objectionable and the guitar players switched from round wound strings to flat wound strings which certainly is a prettier sound rather than listening to all that scratching as the guitarist slid their hands over the strings. Now they go to great lengths to put in the stuff we tried to take out. Just a humorous obsevation.

Yep, it was the same thing with Hammonds and key click, remember? That was supposed to be a fault originally, but it became THE hammond sound, and now no self-respecting keyboard would be without some key click on its Hammond emulation. It's a funny old world.
