Re: Lil 59 Neck in Bridge position on my strat?
The bridge position on a Strat (or any guitar actually) is subjected to a lot less string energy than the neck position, because it's right next to the focal point of the string. The neck position, being further up the string senses a lot more vibration, therefore doesn't need as much output to equal that of the same model bridge pickup. The Lil'59 isn't a high volume pup as it is, so I'm not sure that you'd be terribly happy with the results of that particular model in the bridge position.

Re: Lil 59 Neck in Bridge position on my strat?
Never tried the Little 59 neck as a bridge pickup.
But when I used to use a JB JR in the bridge position of my Strat I tried both the neck model and bridge model in several differant Strats and found that I prefered the neck model JB JR. but I used it in the bridge position.
It was brighter and more open and blended with the middle pickup better while still giving me the increased output for soloing that I was after.
These days, I like the Texas Hot Custom or Twangbanger...but they were not available back when I was using the JB Jr.
