it is because the string spacing is wider at the bridge and very gradually becomes skinnier at the nut. it's a subtle difference and you really can't tell unless you measure both.

I'm sure that the poles on the neck pickup are not as wide as the poles on the middle p/u, but I'll measure again, just to be positive.
