If you play a Gibson you can set the neck pickup volume to zero and

Ah, this takes me back. A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far...
no not that far away.
Anyway, had a Yamaha SG clone and cheap amp set at maximum distortion
(probably a distortion pedal too) and playing in a small, not very
well damped practice room with my mates. As soon as I stopped playing
it would constantly wail. The solution as you mention was to set the
neck pickup to zero and switch to it.
Didn't know about the EVH anecdote though :)

A Yamaha SG clone? You mean the Yamaha SG series? Those are great guitars. Have a SG2000 myself, it's an awesome guitar, lots of low but it also punches through in the highs when it comes to solos or riffs.

Best,

Jeremy
