Does anyone sue the middle pick up in a strat?

Re: Does anyone sue the middle pick up in a strat?

Even if the middle pickup was horrible... I wouldn't sue it. I don't think it could pay me enough to cover the legal fees. As far as using it, I often use it alone, just because I have three different pickups in the guitar, and therefore, three different sounds. I have an A2P in the mid, so I use it rather frequently.

Yeah, I've been through that as well. I remarried the neck pup and the mid pup sued me for alimony...the bitch. :laugh2:

I never use the middle pickup by itself either. I tend to use the neck, bridge, and the bridge/middle positions the most.

I wish that switch position #3 turned the neck and bridge pup's on together.

I have a two pup Blackmore Strat with a three way switch. It does just that. You could take your middle pup out of the circuit and wire the other two onto a three way switch.

the middle pickup is generally a cross between the neck and bridge, I'd say it sounds like a bridge humbucker, but with less treble, and a little thinner. Its good for anything, really

I like the middle pickup of my Amercian Strat. It's a stock Fender. I play it clean and get real glassy, shimmering tones. It's very compatible with a phaser or chorus pedal too.

So sue me....

Probably due to me being a rank amatuer, but I tend to use pos #2 & #4 almost exclusively, with an occasional middle, by itself.

When I do play my Strat, I usually use the middle or between neck & middle positions. If I use the bridge pup, I usually roll off the treble very slightly.
