Where would you put the second pickup?

+1 on that one...

What about taking a page from Carlos's book of tricks and dummy up a test body?  Meaning, make a quick body out of soft pine and drill/rout it for your neck and bridge setup but then add a large swimming pool rout between the neck and bridge - you can place the pickup(s) anywhere you think they may work and test them out.  Different pickups may like different locations - this would take a lot of guess work out of the equation.

Hadn't thought of that!  Might give it a try.

Here's 'Francis, the Talking Mule' when I was sorting out my 12er:



And later when I was using it for the RR signature to figure out how close to the bridge was too close for a single coil Jazz in a Thunderbucker cover

Those photos remind me that Test Mule would make a great name for a band!
