    Default best position for bridge pickup?

    G'day all,
    I am in the process of building the kinda red special (going well - will post pics tomorrow) and I've decided to use a single SD SH-4 in the bridge with a push pull volume pot to split the pickup to single coil. I have Identified the predicted harmonic points on the body along the scale length (25 1/2) and was just wondering where or how other members position their bridge pickups ie. pickup centered on the harmonic or pole peices on one coil lined up with the harmonic or any other system? Any help would be much appreciated.

    This article goes into great detail on pickups. In places its heavily into the maths but it's good reading.
