After watching that great video of Stevie Wonder playing "Superstition" on Sesame Street (link on Bad Dog Cafe), I got to wondering: who was the first "name" player to stick a humbucker in the neck position of their Tele? Was this popularized by Keith Richards or was someone famous doing it before him?
