This is a NEWB question for those of us who are NEW to the ELECTRIC guitar. Lots of guitars have a neck and bridge pickup.
What determines when you use one or the other or in combo?
Are certain things (rhythm or lead) better off one or the other?

Same two above questions but for Strats with 3 pickups--neck, middle, bridge.

An idea or when to use which pickup would be most helpful to those new to the Darkside.
