strat vs tele neck pockets

[notCardio]

Are they the same size? GF says their necks are made for the same pocket width.

Are the other dimensions the same? Does that mean they're interchangeable?

I know I've seen necks swapped, but I always assumed there was some sort of compensation made.

I'm pretty sure Leo designed these guitars with the mindset that they were modular, so if you broke the neck or wore it out or something you could just go get another one. I do think strats and teles have the same scale length and heel/pocket dimensions, so they should be interchangeable. Steve Morse used to play a guitar with a heavily modified tele body and strat neck with the big fat CBS headstock.
