After watching Steve Via make gay faces on G3 with his JEM guitar I have to ask this of those that know........... what the hell is the upside to having a single coil between your neck and bridge humbucker. I've been told repeatedly that the middle pick up is a gimmick that just gets in the way and if you really want to add single coil sounds get a humbucker that can be split. What do you guys think about this? Is it damn good and everyone should try it or only useful for sitting in your basement making gay Steve Via faces while you play.
