I've never understood this one.
To me... it seems logical that the neck pickup would be called the front pickup... but I suspect I'm totally and utterly wrong!

Yeah... I can't understand the use of front and back in this context.... but people say this stuff.
... and I have to confess that I'm definitely not right... as I meant to type 'the bridge pickup' is the front pickup (but somehow typed 'neck'). So I'm doubly wrong... 1. It's not the bridge pickup... 2. I can't type what I mean to type.
It seems there's no hope for me... and musing over which pickup is which, is the least of my worries. Still... it's nearly time for my 5 o'clock medication.
Now that makes sense!
There's been a thread on this before and I know the counter-arguments...but IMO its just illogical to have it the other way round.
Exactly! That's my logic... even if I didn't use the correct word in my original post.
Seems you and I are wrong... but I don't understand why.
Only on one of these…

Even then the end you tend to point in the direction of the audience is the front, really.

If they were that finicky about how I was loading the van... I'd tell them to load it themselves. :-)
This question only ever seems to be asked by people who think the front is the bridge - everyone else just understands that the front is the neck… it even turned out that Strat-a-tat-tat *meant* to ask because he thought it was the other way round .

... but then the middle pickup would feel a bit left out.
But what's "position 1" on a Strat switch?
I've always thought position 1 is the bridge pickup.
