I'm not really sure what the question(s) is but as far as bridge placement one cannot simply place the bridge where they want on the guitars top. Bridge placement is dependent on the scale length of the guitar, the body joint fret, and compensation.
If you wanted to place the bridge closer to the tail block for what ever reason then you would keep the guitar body design the same and join at the 12th fret. I don't think I've ever seen a guitar join less the 12th but I suppose you could do that too.
If what you are saying is that you don't like the sound of a responsive guitar then you might consider making the top thick and the bracing stiff and work it down from there.
