Yes, I got rid of them.
Everyone is different! I like my Gretsch best of all!
I even got rid of my Santana. I still have my Lucille 355, and a few other electrics. I only have one pedal, a Keeley Luna Overdrive, and rarely use it. My preference is to just pick up my guitar and play. I do have a nice rack of electronics goodies for recording. I like to record "raw", and then feed it through my ART preamp, Lexicon MPX110 Processor, an AudioSource Graphic Equalizer, and a model 1773 Really Nice Compressor.
I do not like software to modify my recordings, as I ended up spending too much time adjusting each plug in, and prefer hardware - set it once and away you go! More time for playing guitar! The concept of having the right guitar, pick ups, strings, frets, neck, picks, pedals, etc. is not my cup of tea. But I must admit that I do like a good cup of tea!
