Thanks for the info Jim, I'll have a look at that one. I actually have an older solder iron but I think it has packed in as well.
No one ever uses the middle pickup? Except me and Hank....
Anyone else?
Actually, I've never found much use for the Strat or Marvin centre pickup. I even have a Gibson ES-5 ("Switchmaster") with three '57 Classics and tend to have the middle pickup set to zero on its volume control.
Think about the best guitars in the world (other than the Strat-type). Invariably, they have two pickups (and sometimes only one).
Oh dear... I wish my L5-CES had another pickup in the middle position... said nobody at all, ever.
