There are many examples of neck pickup solos. Have a listen to
Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I don't care what kind of guitar it was played on, it had a healthy dose of neck pickup involved.
...any number of Cream songs...
...Blackmore with Purple (yes, it was a strat, but still neck a lot of the time)
...what about the intro to
Since I've Been Lovin You? And most of the verses...
...what about Gary Moore and
Still Got the Blues?!!??!! I mean,
really. Neck pickup for rhythm only? I don't think so...
