Rick Derringer used one, Joe Walsh, Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers, and a few others.
Geezer Butler from Sabbath used the bass version. Pretty sure there's a picture of him playing it on the inside jacket of their Vol 4 LP.
I have it set for high action for slide. The pickups can be swapped in and out in a few seconds. I only have the standard humbucker & single coil options, but the high action requires the humbucker as there is no way to adjust the distance between the strings and the pickup.
I play it very little. It's more a low cost collector's item at this point.
