Anyone ever put a tele pickup in a strat? I had heard that it doesn't really give the same twang as a tele without the tele bridge. Something about the way the pickup is surrounded by metal on a tele makes a difference. Does anyone know first-hand if you can get a reasonable approximation just by switching out the pickup?
I have a jaguar pickup in the lead position of my guitar to get a surf sound, which isn't super useful to me. I had a duncan quarter pounder for a while, which is a good pickup, but not very remarkable. Fatter sound, but not so different from a humbucker.
I'd love to get that tele twang thing happening, but it's not worth poking new holes in my pickguard if it isn't going to cut it without the bridge.
