I remember watching an interview with the guy who runs Charvel, and he was saying there's a spot between where all bridge pickups go, and the neck pickup.. and there's a natural harmonic there.Of course, but the more drastical change is still in frequency content.
Fwiw, this here is one of the pickup arrangements I fooled around with on my G&L. I've tried just about any combination of potential bridge pickups in any order. The differences are absolutely staggering. For example, the Little 59 installed in that picture, sounds absolutely lackluster in that position, the other way around it's fine, the Fender Noiseless is fine the other way around, too, but the inbetween positions using it aren't too great.
If you place a pickup there, it will be rich with harmonic content.. but no guitar manufacturer ever does it.
I've only ever seen a couple of examples of this being done.
