Do guitar players really need guitar in their own stage wedge?

In small rooms doesn't it always seems to come down to the acoustic drums? Even with good players and a cooperative band that gets it - by the time you have a proper blend of instruments with vocals on top, for most popular styles of music the result simply overpowers small bars and pubs. In retrospect, the few bands I worked with that adapted to electronic drums had almost no trouble with volume on stage or out front.

Nope. There do exist drummers that can sit in the mix at an appropriate level even in small rooms, but they are rare. They alo tend to have graduated past playing small rooms.

Yep, or they are playing jazz.

15ft is a good max distance for instrument cables (1/4" TS). XLRs can be hundreds of feet, though I'd keep them as short as needed - 50ft is a good compromise.
