Seems like it's always in the neck slot.

How come I never see Gibson "staple" pickups in the bridge position???

They're not that loud, and lack bass. Perfect for the neck...

What is a “staple” pickup?
Here, look at Jerry's guitar.neck pickup, it was known ( by Gibson) as the 'alnico V' pickup, I think.

Despite its glammed up features and appearance, Gibson’s “Black Beauty” Les Paul Custom aka “the fretless wonder” was no match against the glitzy Goldtop. Discover its rocky road to guitar greatness

It's like a p90 but instead of adjustable pole pieces the magnets themselves go up and down.
Hi Scott!
I put one (a set actually) on a 56 LP reissue.
Both were Seymour Duncan CS pickups.
One was RWRP, so in the middle (both) selector position was hum cancelling.
Both pickups sounded great, the bridge pickup was brighter, and louder (IMO) than a P90.
I LOVE staple pickups in the neck position.
Alas, I have decided to completely give up on single coils pickups.
If you opt to put them in a guitar routed for P90’s, you will probably need to deepen the pickup cavity.
The gold top and I parted company.
My friend Tim now rocks it.

Just in the neck, though, probably, right? I've never seen one with staples in both positions.
p.s. P-90, born 1946. Staple, born 1954.
I think his did. Like this byrdlandJust in the neck, though, probably, right? I've never seen one with staples in both positions.

Completely adjustable magnets for each string .... And no one ever adjusts them.
Flat poles across the pickup. Pickup flat to the body. The only EQ is mid-scoop from the bridge saddle radius.
All that design work to make adjustable parts ... and no one uses it. But they will swap pickups with a sliver of forum encouragement.
Kinda humorous in a way.
