Lew I am curious why. My Tele neck pickup is way stronger than the bridge. I have a TV Jones Power'Tron bridge in the neck and a hotrails in the bridge. I do most of my rhythm work of the neck, very Malcolm Youngish, and my lead work with the hot rails. It works out great.

Just personal preference. Like most opinions. :bigok:
For my playing style I tend towards a clean sounding neck pickup so I can throw in some jazzy chords with add 9th's and what not. Maybe some open string folksy chords. That sort of thing.
And for more overdriven sounds I tend to switch to the bridge pickup, so I like it a little hotter than the neck pickup.
But not too hot because I play rhythm with both pickups on quite a bit and I like those chimey Tom Petty-ish, jangley sounds too.
I play a lot of acoustic guitar and when I play electric I like to be able to use some of those chords and some of that playing style when I'm on the neck pickup or using both pickups together.

That is what I kinda figured. And we are polar opposites in styles so it is not surprising we have some diametric approaches to gear and gear setups.

There's very little music I can't find something to like about. I've always liked music that strikes me as being real, beautiful and soulful.
But that could be anything from blues to jazz to Motown to rock to classical to folk to country to...Joni Mitchell, the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
When Louis Armstrong was asked what kind of music he played he said: "There's only two kinds of music. Good and bad. I play the good kind."
I've completely outgrown some music that I liked as a kid and love some music I enjoyed as a kid every bit as much today as I did then.
Good post. Even though we can butt heads occasionally, we seem to have the same feelings about music.

I cut my rock-'n-roll teeth on Jimi, The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, Steppenwolf, etc., etc. But none of those make my current playlist except Jimi. His music stands the test of time.

I play a few of my favorite Beatles CD's. Jimi I only listen to if I want to learn something. I learned how to play guitar by slowing down the first few Rolling Stones albums and put on Little Red Rooster the other day to relearn Brian Jones slide guitar parts. Still love Dylan. Still love Joni. Still love Muddy and BB. But with so much music online these days I rarely play my vinyl or CD's.

I've been playing some vinyl lately simply because there's a resurgence of vinyl interest in my "other" favorite forum about vintage audio. So I dragged out several of my old turntables. Like pickups, it's amazing how many I have tucked away once you start digging them out.
