Some...
Its clear that a lot of musicians want to hang on to the past - the Valve Amps, the basic Strat/Tele/Les Paul and all 'analogue' pedal board. Its as if the likes of Jimi, Jimmy, Clapton etc had the perfect formula and how dare anyone deviate. The fact that there 'gear' was 'new and innovative', that helped them become the icons that pushed past the old guard, helped them create 'new' genres etc on 'new' and innovative (for its time) gear is irrelevant today. If you go chasing those tones, as a band, you get labelled 'copy cats', not as good as the originals (look at Greta Van Fleet as an example). The innovation didn't really stop in the 60's as we know - 70's and 80's too pushed innovation in technology, took musicianship to a whole new level beyond 'Hendrix' (its not Blasphemy - Hendrix stopped at 27, the people he inspired were playing Hendrix at early stages in their development and then had to 'push beyond' because they would of stagnated) - hence we had musicians like Satch and Vai, using technology and talent to create something special and unique. The 90's, though rebelled against the 'technical wizardry', the technical speed freaks which made 'guitar' accessible - like Punk had.
The Les Paul is a 'great' example of the musicians pushing back against innovation. Despite Gibson releasing a traditional Les Paul - a guitar with no weight relief, no push/pull splitting and just the 3-way with Humbuckers, even going so far as to call it a 'Traditional', the majority (on the internet at least) were angry that the Gibson Les Paul Standard had weight relief, angry that it had 'push/pull' splitting and a push/pull phase changer even more angry at the 'High Performance standard that added the HP circuit so you could choose whether the Push/Pull split or tapped the coils for either pick-up among other things given more option to the guitarist to decide which they preferred. It also had the contoured 'easy access' heel joint, titanium adjustable nut, cryogenically treated Frets (I assume for harder wearing), Richlite fingerboard (no CITES issues, behaved like Ebony but was incredibly uniform and very hard wearing) etc. I can understand the 'robo-tuners' as that added too much mass to the headstock but I do think its a shame that Gibson are being 'forced' to go back to 'basics' instead of trying to be innovative, trying to give musicians as many options as they can to be creative. Not just 'sticking' to the basic formula.
Personally, I think their biggest issue wasn't innovation (which I think some attributed to the 'price' - maybe rightly but they could still of paid a lot less for a 'Traditional') but the QC they had (or didn't as the case may be) chain. PRS have QC checks at numerous stages through out the build and, at the end of the chain, when that guitar leaves the factory, it will be an incredible and consistently superb instrument. You don't have to from shop to shop to shop to find a 594 that not only sounds amazing, but also doesn't have flaws in its fit, finish etc and in the 'colour' you want. If you want a 'Blue' 594, well you can buy a 'blue' 594 and it will be 'perfect' and within minor difference tonally (as all wood instruments are) but you may find a blue LP that sounds a lot worse than the tobacco burst but the tobacco burst has lumps of glue round the neck where it wasn't cleaned when the neck was joined and the blood Orange one sounds amazing but you can fit a finger nail in the gap in the neck pocket and the binding has stain bleeding into it in several places.... Issues and inconsistencies that a $3k guitar should NEVER have.
PRS can get away with 'innovation' in a sense because he is always striving to improve the models he created without impacting on the quality. Whether that's putting mini-toggles to individually switch pick-ups between Humbucking and Single so guitarists can go from a single neck to humbucker bridge in just 1 flick of the blade. Innovations like the 513, 509 and 408 - now the 'Paul's' guitar with TCI PU's. Improving the tuners and bridges too. Even when he makes a 'traditional' Guitar because people can't afford to buy a 58 Les Paul or a 63/4 Strat, the 594 and Silver Sky have modern day improvements, PRS build quality and people wanting to buy them so much that PRS can't cope with the demand. Arguably though these are not 'innovative' in a sense but they do have parts that have been improved on over years - like the Gen 3 tuners and it was the development of the 635 PU's in the Silver Sky that led to the TCI pick-ups.
Innovation doesn't always mean you have to come up with a whole new 'body' shape, new materials, new way of wiring/switching etc - it can be innovative in the way a split PU sounds, a new 'bridge' that adds much more to the resonance and sustain etc.
I am sure Fender (or some other brand) could do something 'similar' with their Pick guards as the PU's are mounted on those. Some way to un-clip the pick guard and clip in a different one, one with a different PU arrangement. If you want to swap from an SSS to a HSS, HSH or HH arrangement, just unclip the old one and clip in the new one. It can be all wired up to the switches and knobs and the way it clips in connects to the output jack - no need to unscrew the pick guard and Fender (or who ever - even 3rd Party after market PU manufacturers) can sell additional Pick guards with different PU's all ready wired in so all you need to do is unclip the old and clip in the new - maybe without needing to remove the strings either - although that would maybe require a redesign of the Pickguard as this does go round the Trem and Neck on the top side. The 'cavity' for PUs and switches would also need to accommodate easy switching and some cushioning around the Guitar or Pick guard to prevent any movement and rattling. Sure beats having to buy a whole new guitar (not that I am adverse to adding more NGD's to my future) but a system like this could 'exist'. It may be cheaper than buying a Set of Humbuckers, sending them to Relish so they can wire them in to there pick-up holders and send to you. Also more versatile as you could have single coils and humbuckers in any arrangement already mounted in to a Pick guard with appropriate switching - inc mini toggles or push pull pots for Humbucker splitting too - just an idea and doesn't mean we will ever see something like this or that others don't see it as a 'gimmick'.
