I have a fairly new '52 Reissue that I really dig, but the neck position seems very dull and quiet, regardless of what amp I play it through. I haven't found an application for it. The middle position is great for rhythm (though also a little dark; could this be because of an overly dull neck pickup?), the bridge is awesome for screaming leads, but what do I do with the neck position? Does my description sound like it perhaps need some modification, or is it supposed to sound that way?

It may just be an issue of pickup height. (The neck pickup may be too far from the strings). You may want to ask a knowledgeable person at your local guitar shop to take a look.

It is very easy to adjust, but if you have limited experience an oppinion from someone who can look at it is probably worthwhile.

Cool, thanks, I thought that might help. I'm taking it in soon to have some other work done and will mention it. I was just curious if maybe there was some application for it I didn' know about (like if someone wants a really bassy tone for some reason).

I am having a similiar problem with my partscaster nashville tele. I have laces in there and for some reason the neck is just quiet. I thought it might have been height also, but it was pretty high I am assuming the guy who I had put them in, didn't do a good job. Either the PU is bad or the switch is. I am taking to a more experienced tech.
