Unless you're getting microphonic feedback from the pickups which is highly unusable and to be avoided.But that's just terminology and physics. Ew's got it bang-on for how to pull it off!
Looks like NI have gotten something right!!! GR2

Exactly right in terms of execution, but in fact it's the strings rather than the pickups that create the feedback. Unless you're getting microphonic feedback from the pickups which is highly unusable and to be avoided.

Without the pickup, you certainly wouldn't be able to hear the sympathetic feedback of the strings.

The other factor that's important for feedback is the amp. If the amp compresses good in the frequency range you want to have your feedback at you don't need monstrous volumes to get it. I once wanted to get some feedback in the studio while using a Rockman (these black/blue plastic boxes, the first successful amp modeler!) and I needed quite some volume to get good feedback. On the other hand my good tube amp was able to deliver feedback at very comfortable volumes.
Also experiment with the position/angle of your guitar to the speakers. There's this old and famous story of Santana who marked positions with tape on the floor of stages during sound check where he gets feedback really well and easy. That's a true story.

In the end will be the word.

Yup. It's all physics. If you're standing at the wrong spot, you'll be out of phase with the frequency that you want to feed back, and it won't happen. Frequencies that are stronger (through EQ or whatnot) will also feed back more quickly because they have greater amplitude.
Proximity to your amp helps, which is why Hendrix would stand right in front of his.
There's no magic formula-- it's just the interaction of the soundwaves coming out of your speaker, with the strings that are being played on the guitar. If the two are the same, sympathetic feedback can occur. However, the factors mentioned by Fritz go a long way in helping to produce musically useful feedback.
