No pickups that fit this route?

So I'm new to Warmoth and maybe I did something wrong.
But I'm going through the build online process for a telecaster, and I chose a tele route for the neck.
When I got to the part where I choose the pickup for the neck I get a message saying there are no pickups that fit this route.
I'm not understanding what I did wrong. It's a standard single coil pickguard mounted pickup.
Is it possible that they're out of stock on everything all of a sudden?
 
Odd, I just tried the same thing and I can select Tele pickups just fine for the neck.  The builder doesn't usually reflect whether an item is in stock, I don't think, it just lets you get a more complete look at your custom build.  Can you post a screenshot of what you're looking at?

With the Tele builder you can hit this if you forget to cut the pickguard or the body for the pickup.  Ie - you can't have the pickguard cut for a middle strat pickup if you didn't also route the body for it. If you routed the body for a Tele neck pickup, but forget to route the pickguard for it, or try to put a humbucker there, it will give you this error.

Also on the subject of the Tele builder... I didn't realize that 'Tele Butt Crack' was a thing, but it's a thing that was apparently modeled into the builder on purpose. (The gap around the edge of the bridge plate where the pickup route sticks out) I think the actual effect is more subtle than the 1 pixel crack shown in the builder. Wish you didn't have to look at it when you do tele's in the builder.
 
You get this message after you've selected the neck pickup,but it's actually about the middle pickup, which I expect you didn't select a route for either in the body or the pickguard. Just hit continue and it'll ask you about the bridge pickup.
 
Yes, the problem is most likely related to a mismatch between the pickup routs you chose for the body, and the ones you chose for the pickguard.




Also, worth saying: you don't have to order everything in one fell swoop by going all the way through the visual body builder from beginning to end. Honestly, I find it easier to just stop once the body itself is complete, add it to the cart, and then add my pickguard, pickups, and hardware to the cart separately, by going to their respective pages.
