Cool! Yeah, I’ve watched videos of people demonstrating the G&L pickup hardware and it does actually seem really useful, like it has a lot of “clear practical applications” so to speak like you’re saying with your similar setup 
It’s hard for me to predict how I would actually come to relate to something like that if I had it available, but I’m curious to find out if I ever get the chance. Probably if I was playing in a band right now I would be thinking about it more; if you’re just playing by yourself I feel like you can kinda find things to do with any configuration of the guitar controls but if you need to find a place in a larger mix like you’re saying it can become a greater technical challenge with the electronics (although of course your playing style can do a lot even there).
