Eric Clapton's long-time collaborators Andy Fairweather Low and Doyle Bramhall II are two notable fans of such guitars.

I'm actually in my 1 pickup craze, bought an epi junior with p-90 that is a really low-quality guitar and needs more work than i have time for and a epi sg junior and that's just a good guitar that deserved the lollar pickup that cost more than the guitar itself. :shock:
Everybody is talking about the magic of the 1 pickup guitar and i can definitely vouch for it, it feels like you can get just as much done turning two knobs as four.
Great thread

Two of my planned "one of these days" builds will be a Telecaster with a P-90 in the bridge, and then a second Tele with a single P-90 in the middle (no bridge or neck pup)...

This will be a while, but I'm gathering pieces and parts when I can to do these builds.

Those ideas sound really interesting Screamin Armadillo, be sure and share pics, can't wait to see them.

I tried doing the one pickup guitar thing before. But it wasn't enough for me. I've gotta have at least bridge and neck. Bridge pickups just aren't really capable of producing good treble AND rich bass tones. You can get Bassy or mid heavy bridge pickups, but then you don't have the treble when you need it. If you have a trebly bridge, backing off the tone knob cuts treble, but becomes more stale the further you cut. It's not a deep rich tone on my opinion.

I guess it depends on what style you're playing or what you're into. But having just a bridge pickup isn't versatile enough for my personal taste. Not my thing.

I'm surprised there are so few guitars with just a middle pickup.
