I've been a ig fan of Strats since 1993, but I've never liked the way the middle pickup sounds when used on its own. The tone is just not pretty sounding to me.

I wouldn't remove or change this pickup because without people wouldn't get those great Strat tones they love.

So does anyone use the middle only pickup? What are your thoughts on the middle pickup?

I use middle pu . 1995 American Standard Stratocaster with Canadian made J.S. Moore pickups.

What is your guitar ?

I have an Acoustic bass amp that sounds best with the middle pickup, a nice woody tone. But I don't use it too much.

A Strat has been my #1 since the late '60s. I can count the times right up to today that I've used the middle pickup by itself for the same reason as you. Additionally, I hardly use positions 2 and 4 either. Still, it's good that the middle pickup is there if and when needed for whatever.
