Rickenbacker pickup position?

Since the Rick is not a 34" scale instrument then the way to locate the pickups accurately is by harmonics.

The neck pickup is where a 24th fret would be. This is the same harmonic as the 5th fret.

The bridge pickup is located at the same harmonic as the 2 1/2 fret.

You can move the pickup 1/2" in either direction and still get pretty much the same tone.

Same position as on an epiphone EB-3 then ?

The neck pickup would be the same ... the bridge pickup is different
