in the neck position and a standard bridge pickup. I wanted a little more balance between the pickups so I lowered the humbucker till it was almost even with the body and then the volumes of each pickup were pretty close. I then added a single ply Esquire black pickguard right over the pickup and I don't notice any loss of clarity at all. I use it mostly in the middle position but use the neck position by itself on occasion for jazzy or swing type tunes............JH in Va.
