Not a home. And I don't gig anymore. But when gigging yes. Especially cover band situations with my Parker Fly. Even used the Piezo for "acoustic" sounds. Actually for Surf, and surf sounds, blending that piezo just right into the standard split coil sound on the fly turns it from strat to jaguar.
At home, more often than not I will play through a modelling amp. I still run my champ from time to time but nothing larger as it's so much easier to run a modeller and have total control over tone while being able to play whisper quiet if the situation calls for it (late at night). Modellers make pickup selection just not that important.

All of my electrics except my Strat have two pickups and all positions are used from time to time, although I don't use both pickups simultaneously a whole lot. I have a Gibson ES335 and the pickups are permanently wired out of phase which gives me (IMO) a kind of Gretsch sound that I use now and then. On my S-S-S Strat, I use all five positions with the exception of the middle pickup by itself. I don't care for that sound but that pickup earns it's keep when used with the bridge or neck pickup. It's also RW/RP so the in between positions are humbucking.

Hi Dru,
I don't play the electric as much as I used to, but I am always looking for just the right sound between my various guitars, and that approach tends to lead me down the path of trying just about every pickup combination I can think of. So, ... yes, I do. - Glenn

My little Ibanez semi-hollow has the typical two humbuckers, and currently I only use the guitar for playing fingerstyle jazz..... I'm only using the neck PU as that seems to give the best tone for what I'm doing.

Me too. Never really cared for that mid position sound.

My findings
I find that no matter what guitar I play
And no matter what p/u combo I use I still sound like me.

So true Paully, I'm the same way. I still sound like me but the tone is a little different based on the pickup I'm using.
