Gibson... wtf???

apparently no one did I think he said they only made 2

---personally Id like it --- since the "G" only made 2 wait 20 years.......... they will be worth a princely sum then talk about rare ....... 2 ....... thats rare
 
Like @smitty_p said, i get the idea: you're making a purely rhythm tone guitar by placing the pickup there because you'll never get any real treble out of it, as Gibson did on the Es-165/175s for example. Seems less practical though.

Better question is: how come you never see a single middle pickup guitar?
Anywho, here are some more single pickup Les pauls

Yup. For someone who wants the same type of guitar vibe in a smaller, solid-body package, the “Rhythm” Junior kind of fits a niche. After all, as originally conceived, the Les Paul guitar, itself, is actually just a smaller, solid-body variant of the two-pickup jazz guitars of the time.

Obviously, a scrotum is sold separately.
 
Personally, I think this idea would look better as a more traditional Les Paul design, meaning with a bound body and fret board and with a pickguard. I also think a tobacco burst, instead of the sunburst, with trapezoid or block inlays would set it off, too.

The tone, from the pickup in that position, would be very dark. I just can't see a point to this design.
