Seems we can take some direction from Taylor. If they removed the guitars that did not have pickups installed they would be out of business in a day. I think of on onboard pickup as a live gig ready option. If I just played at home or wanted to use an external mic for amplification then I would never buy a guitar with a pickup installed. But I gig full time so do like having some basic tone shaping and volume at my fingertips.
