I bet it's really difficult to use when playing WOWY since you have to go from the sustained part to the normal guitar part pretty quickly.
@Alex - Cool, I hope you enjoy using it! Would love to have one myself.
Glad you enjoy the interview, I was surprised about that side project too. Remember it's a 1985 interview, so there are some details that 30 years later seem weirdly out of place. About the thicker strings, well, I kind of expected him to use thinner ones too but I'm not surprised he uses 10s or even 11s. I've tried 9s on a Explorer and a Les Paul and they feel like toy strings.
