Yeah there is that, never seen a musician do it on stage when they swap their guitar though! :-)

They are beginning to use combos which can emulate different speakers
and amps, though, and you might not notice the switch being operated.

Not 'beginning - have been doing it for at least the last half-decade.

However those who consider themselves to be 'real' guitarists would not
be seen dead using one !

Neal Schon and Phil Collin would likely consider themselves real
guitarists, and while they're not using combos per se, they are using
Axe-Fx III's exclusively for live shows now.

Yes, I agree. To me a "real" guitarist is one who uses whatever is
needed to get the sound they want for that song. Otherwise, they'd all
still be playing acoustic guitars with catgut strings.

Yeah I'm well aware of that, but that's just another effect like so many
others they have been using for decades. It's getting over the top now
though, I've seen digital effects boxes with 999 effects. Think they
stopped there just so they could use a 3 digit display. Next stop 9999 I
guess. :-)
