Scared shitless that I would die.

I took Apple earbuds, popped them open, and taped their guts to the business parts of the humbuckers.  Worked really nicely for a while, but the earbuds died from being too exposed to the raw intensity of how I play.

Maybe not "wired", per se, but there were wires involved, and initially saying that I taped the earbuds to the pickups sucks a good helping of cool out of the whole thing, even though the product was epic.

Putting the earphones themselves, unadulterated, onto the pickups will produce the same result, but they get in the way of the strings, so playing isn't as fun/possible.

It sounds awesomely awesome

I was using a screwdriver before I knew Sonic Youth did, and when I found out that they came up with it, I felt good, like I shared an artistic brainwave with them or something...
