I use it all the time, mostly in conjunction with the bridge and neck pick-up, but also alone when I want some little more edge to phrases played on the bass strings... I'd rather remove the bridge pick-up if one of them has to go....

I use middle single mainly with neck single to cancel hum at high gain, otherwise rarely

I use bridge + middle sometimes, gives a nice clen but not so harsh.
But I mainly use bridge 80% of the time on all my guitars anyway

I never used it on my Silvertone, so I got a Schecter without a middle pick-up

I use it all the time for funk and some leads, use the positions 2 and 4 as well, specially neck+middle with rolled of tone for some smoothness.

all the time, for funk, for blues, for clean tones, and for hum canceling when i use some fuzz or dist.
But a tele is always a good choice too

QUOTE (JVM @ Jan 20 2010, 03:04 AM)  Unrelated to the thread, but I've always wondered why the bridge pickup in a strat is slanted the way it is. You get a lot of people who find it too harsh, wouldn't it make more sense to slant it the other way? i think i heard it is like that because it looked good back in days  not sure if it's true tho.. -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

I think I saw in one vid that it was like that to smooth out the sharp edges in tone. I sometimes use the middle position for sparkling clean tones -------------------- Visit my:
