Yes, a great sound is what we're all after and I seem to have this same conversation over and over with folks at every guitar-oriented forum who think they're saving time and hassle by avoiding changing pickups or other components when all they're doing is spending a lot more time and hassle trying to find the right guitar/pickup combo.
It's a lot easier to find a great sound if you know how to mix the right wood with the right electronics -- because suddenly there are a lot more "right guitars" to choose from. At the end of the day you will overlook some seriously wonderful pieces of wood because they are hidden by crummy electronics. So unless you have your own personal guitar tech or some phobia of solder irons, I just don't see the wisdom of remaining willfully ignorant about the very simple electronics of the electric guitar that are very easily tinkered and modded.
But it's a free country and you can do things the hard way if you want to.
