Hanks pickup selection?

[barryjh]

Apologies if this subject is covered elsewhere on the site and if so maybe the thread title is all I need .. but, watching the Final Tour the other day on Sky I'm sure that Hank seemed to be  using the bridge pickup  on most of the screen shots where it could be seen and on a variety of tunes which made me think his sound man  had his guitar going through some kind of "tone patch" selection processor located off stage. Hanks guitar always seemed to set to the bridge pickup? .. is this so?

Just curious

Hank has used the bridge pickup almost exclusively for years. There is no special processing. Just Hank's playing style and tendency to pick near the neck pickup, and choice of amp and amp settings of course.

Thanks Charlie. I suppose that would also help maintain consistent levels during live shows. I think he is careful to avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Cheers,
