If electronics are to be added, do you go for higher specification to reflect the specification of the guitar.

I am thinking of treating myself to a more upmarket guitar and can’t decide on any electronics. Because it would be played at home, I think the answer is a straightforward no. However the above questions still intrigue me.

Thanks for any suggestions, ideas and thoughts.
If you gig or may attend Open mic's I say go for electronics ...
If only at home I would say all things being equal) skip electronics....
BUT all things are not equal !!!!
Personally I like being able to play lead as well a strum so I prefer a cutaway, and MOST cutaways come with electronics
