Re: why you no like midle position on strat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the middle position on a Strat. I set that one up as my "home base" tone. That way I can click over to one brighter or one darker from there.
What I don't like on Strats is the notch positions. I prefer 3-way switches on Strats. Quicker and more positive "pop" back to the middle switch position! I hate aiming for the middle with a five way switch, and ending up landed on one of those damned in between positions!

I'm fine with it; and the "between" positions. But I'm more likely to use a middle single on guitars with bridge humbuckers, however you interpret that.

That's very much opposite what I do. Most of time I use either middle and bridge or neck and bridge together.
Sometimes I use neck only for that classic tone, or or rarely middle alone for more cutting tone. I often play clean with neck alone too.

I like the sound of the middle position. Great for equalizing your strat. The in between positions I have mixed feelings about. The bridge/middle position was once my favorite position. Now I think it's most annoying sound a guitar could ever make.

Everything about it is wrong:
1. It sits in the middle so it's hard to exactly position the switch when playing.
2. It sounds thin.
3. It makes the guitar looks cluttered. Think about HSH.

In my former Strat (now sold) it wasn't too good to be honest.
That was until I replaced the neck from a cheapo Hamer to a Fender Classic Series that was chunky as hell.
The whole guitar came alive and the biggest surprise was the middle position. It had a huge tonal shift, for better.
God, I miss that guitar sometimes.

I also EQ for the middle now, and that means the bridge no longer cuts my head off!
Also I hated the middle positions until I got a good set of pickups. Plus I think my taste changed. With the ceramic MIMs or Lace Sensors it was like a caricature of the Clapton tone. Now I can find some of my own tones.

It’s an internet joke...
