Strat neck onto tele body question

[Joe1166]

Is there any problems that come with putting a strat neck onto a tele body? People say that it will fit but does the apex of the curve of the strat neck put pressure into the tele body? The place were the tele body is touching the apex of the curve of the strat neck doesn't have much wood there because of the neck pickup cavity.

According to Warmoth: "A Strat®-shape heel fits best in a Strat®-shaped pocket. It will also fit and intonate in a Tele®-shaped pocket, but will leave small gaps in the corners of the neck pocket. A 22 fret neck's fretboard overhang would cover the gap"

Provided the pocket and the neck heel in question are both to spec there is no problem of fit or pressure.
