I really dont know alot about guitar tech stuff but heres a shot...

First off do you see how on your pickups there are little round circles (6 of them) under each string. These are magnets and they are put their to receive the strings vibrations and amplify them. Now if you ran the pickups sideways you would essentialy have 6 magnets attracting the D and G strings making them very amplified and the rest of the strings being of alot less volume (the E strings being of least volume) So it probably wouldnt be a good idea. Plus you would have to drill holes to fit them and even then so they might not fit between the bridge and neck depending on how many pickups and the size of the body...
