Telecaster bridge pickup fit in humbucker route?

[David]

I have a warmoth guitar with a gotoh telecaster humbucker bridge and I am wondering if I can replaced it with the regular telecaster bridge.  Will the telecaster bridge pickup fit in the humbucker route?

Thanks

it will need some routing I think.

i think he's asking if the tlecaster van fit into into a hubucker in the traditional angled way

I'm assuming the Tele body was originally drilled by Warmoth for a std. Tele bridge and you ordered the re-route for HB pickup, right? In that case you should be able to order a std. Tele bridge; extra metal will cover the larger HB route.

I think that might work too. the bottom plate isn't 'touching' the back of the cavity.

Thanks for the replies.  The body was originally routed for the tele humbucker bridge, but I am thinking I'd like the traditional angled pickup.  I just didn't think it would fit in without modification which I don't want to do myself.

There is a very small rounded out section that needs to be routed on the high e string side at the bridge side of the route.  It is about 1/8th of an inch deep about 1/2 inch up and 5/8th of an inch long.  I saw a pict on the boards a while ago, but I can't remember where.  You might try searching the just out of the box section for tele bodies.

If the body originally had a std. Tele pickup route and was re-routed for HB, that notch will already be there; see below:

Is there a thread left on this board that doesn't have an Orpheo Les Paul collage?

sorry, just wanted to show that its possible to have a telecaster bridge pickup in a humbucker-routing.
