I don't know about the neck pups, though if you were talking about putting a Strat SC sized HB in the bridge of a Tele....
I'm pretty sure that the screws are a different pattern, and the Tele's are uncovered.

Like I says, I don't know if you were thinking of getting a Strat pup for the bridge or if they make a Tele version that
you were thinking of getting.....
I just wanted you to be aware of those differences, in case :wink:

Dali could probably answer that better, as he's modded a couple Tele's in his day 8)

Is that just a wacky idea? Would anyone out there discourage me from doing so?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Philippe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-tele-neck-pickup-swapping/#post-28464
