How does a humbucker sound in middle position?

Is it a bad idea? Any ESP/LTD Stephen Carpenter sig. users here?

Try PM'ing Zimbloth, he's got one. From the small amount of playtime I got on a Carpenter, it sounds pretty good.

Do you find it gets in the way? Especially when doing pinch harmoics. I know if a guitar has a single coil in the middle position it bugs the hell out of me..

Jarrett is a jewel in the rough
The middle one on my sc607-b sounds pretty much like you would expect a neck pickup to sound. I did need to lower it a little but even before that it was pretty good. But then the 81-7 is an awesome pickup

You just have to smack it down out of the way. No problem after that.

If you search for Esp SC sig., i know it's been discussed somewhere...
I also remember it's been discussed in a thread about "what's your favorite / or worse pick-up configuration" or something like that...

I always have heard that they were kind of a waste...I remember in the 80's when all of those guys had 3 humbuckers on their guitars...looked strange.

Ace Frehley also uses a middle humbucker, that's where I tried it. His sig model has a super distortion and it sounded pretty cool.
