Masina Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Does anyone know if a strat pickup will fit in the bridge position of a telecaster? Without extra routing and your standard tele bridge, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 A tele bridge pup has three screws placed in a triangular pattern. A strat pup has two screws at the ends. Other wise it fill probably fit, but you might have to deepen the rout. So, no it will not work without modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The entire size of the bobbin is different, so it'll be more than just a screwhole mod, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 should work, i was going to try it with a lace sensor in my bridge (cut the side ears off and glue the bottom of a telebobbin to the bottom) the actual coils appear to the be the same size (height and length) but the top part of a tele bobbin is much bigger, this wont make much difference inside the guitar. http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/4149/dscf0077as9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 You could always do like Hohner did on the Tele copy that Prince likes so much. It uses a Strat style hardtail and a pickguard material filler panel type thing to hold the Strat style pickup. Of course, that's assuming the S pup will fit the T rout.
