I once had this problem on a custom Carvin guitar that I ordered with the optional 25.5" scale. The neck and bridge placement were correct but the bridge pickup location was not changed from what is standard on their 24.75" scale. The result was a bridge position pickup that was too far from the bridge. No grit or defined attack. Just sounded like a duck quacking away. I didn't want to sound like a duck so I routed for proper bridge pickup placement PLUS forward of that enough to mount a second humbucker. The end result was a three humbucker guitar with the bridge and middle pickup rings touching. It corrected the problem and gave me a bunch of wiring options that I used to great advantage.
