It's also interesting that (and clearly from those pics ), he mostly uses the neck/middle sound for soloing. Most people would use it for chord work and switch to the neck or bridge alone for solos - he seems to mainly use the neck pickup for rhythm.

I use all the positions. Some more than others though. Both my Strats have the bridge pickup wired to the middle pickup tone control. One of them also has a baseplate on the bridge pickup, and a push-push pot that allows me to add the neck pickup at any time. I normally use that to get neck and bridge together. That's quite a useful sound.
I did experiment in the past with a blend pot and an option to get pickups in series, but didn't really like either.
5 (80% of the time)
3 (most of the rest of the time)
4 (a bit)
2 (as little as possible)
1 (almost never)
I always thought the switch positions were numbered the other way round (ie bridge = 5) ... I'll have to remember not to be so left-to-right about it.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I use my bridge pickup a lot, but it does depend on the guitar. If you have good fat sounding Strat it is great, but if you have a thin plinky sounding one, it will sound nasty.
As for his gurn face, well I certainly wouldn't want to be his girlfriend is all I'm saying.
I don't think there is any guitar that can do both of these without some degree of compromise
I've only just realised that you can change the position.
I have mine on "Default Bridge".
