More often than not, I stick with the bridge pickup

[u6crash]

Who's with me?

[elsupermanny14]

same here! i have a fat strat so my bridge pickup is a humbucker and it's for the most part my default position.

[ej]

yeah, but i roll off the tone and volume every time i go clean, i have a really hot humbucker and otherwise it just sounds gross

[leopardstar]

not i....i'm more of a neck guy

[GuitarMasterNot]

for soloing, i like using the neck pup, for rhythm ...mostly the bridge

[fatfat]

This thread is blasphemous!

[songsforbears]

I actually rarely use the bridge pickup. I owned a Telecaster for several years and didn't ever use the bridge pickup until the month before I sold it. On guitars that are capable of it, I'll use the neck + bridge switch.

I prefer the middle p'up of my sss Strats.

 

It's where the honkin' really begins.

[steve_man]

My fave is the middle position on my Strat, followed closely by the bridge!

[dcooper830]

I'm 80% bridge.

15% middle.

5% neck.

[tlbonehead]

Who's with me?

Usually for rhythm. For leads I use all positions.

[WestPunX]

Bridge all the time for me...I rip out the neck pickup if I have the time, hah.

[book_of_lies777]

it depends...

 

Blackmore Strat - I use the Lil'59 in the bridge 100% of the time(the neck/middle pups are stock single coils, which pale in comparison to the Lil'59)

 

Squier Vintage Modified Strat - I almost always use the neck/middle position(SD Alnico V single coils )

 

Epi LP Spec II - bridge 90%(but I rarely play it anymore)

 

Epi Les Paul Standard Plus - bridge 80%, I usually keep the neck volume rolled way down, so I'll switch over to the neck for a clean tone

 

Dean V - bridge 100% (the neck pup isn't even in the circuit)

[DADGADammit]

when i'm just playing with drummer, i stick to the neck. with a band, i seem to like the bridge more often

Bridge for rythym, but neck for most solos. The only reason I like using the bridge for solos is pinch harmonics just scream, and I can't seem to get very good ones on the neck pickup. Maybe its my technique, but if I could get the tone of the neck with the bridge's pinch harmonics, that would own.

[Neilrocks25]

85 percent bridge.

5 percent in between
10 percent neck

[wagdog]

It depends on the song and/or type of music.

 

As far as my strat goes, I rarely use the bridge pickup by itself.

Sweet. I've always thought those were way cool.

[dughaze]

In the past I have been a 90% bridge pickup guy except when I was going for a clean sound. That was also with the guitars I have that have hot bridge pickups like the 500T, ToneZone, and a P90 that seems sort of hot to me. Lately though, with the Edwards LP that has a 59 in the neck I am really digging that pickup. It kind of does everything and I find myself using it about 54% of the time, the JB in the bridge and the 59 in the neck about 29% of the time, and the JB by itself about 17% of the time.

[cratz2]

Hrmm, I mostly play strats and I'd probably say I'm 75% neck, 20% #2 and #4 positions and 5% bridge. Rarely the middle only pickup.

On the Tele, I'm probably 50% neck, 25% and 25%.

On H/S/S guitar or H/H guitars, I spend more time on the bridge, but I probably only use H/S/S or H/H guitars 10% of the time.

Well, I had bought a used LTD Hybrid 300 that the previous owner had modded with an American Tele pickup in the neck position and an SH6 splittable with a push-pull pot instead of the Duncan Designed shown on this pic:



It is truly a great and versatile guitar. So I was thinking of buying a Hybrid 400 which is similar to the modded one when I saw on Ebay an ESP "The Hybrid" - I did not know anything about this guitar and it was difficult to find out much on the web because there are different descriptions with different configurations - in any case, the price was OK and it is exactly like on the pic above. It is not as flexible as the LTD with two PUs but the single PU is just great, the neck is a marvel - so far my only ESP ... I am not so much into the EMG-Metal-ESP stuff ...

what's that first metallic yellow guitar? it's so sick! i want it lol.

[mnhhngbfs]

...Did you not even read the post before yours?

[Edmond Zedo]

It depends on the guitar and pickup, really. I've only had one which could do it all on bridge, a Jackson Soloist with a Pearly Gates.
