It seems interesting, but EMG already sort of offers a similar thing where you can swap out pickups easily because they are using clips instead of hardwiring everything. Some people say they can notice a difference between pickups that are clipped in versus those that are hardwired, so some people may actually see this 'new' feature as undesireable.

The pickups are held in with magnets, you just pop them off with your bare hands. You can change from humbuckers to P-94's between songs.

I think its neat about the magnets, but the wires for the pickups use clips, which I don't have a problem with, but you'd have to mod any other pickups with the clips in order to clip it into the guitar. Its a neat idea, but I'm not gonna pay the extra $1000 or so that Gibson will probably add to the price for this feature

If it works out to be a good idea they'll probably come out with an Epiphone version, or Squier might make a cheap copy.
