Tele / Strat neck pickup differences?

[marnold***]

AFAIK, the only major difference besides the size is the cover. I've always thought that the cover on the neck pup of a Tele looks dorky while having a regular pickup in the bridge. Of course, Leo and most every Tele player disagrees with me on that.

The thing that makes a Tele a Tele, IMO, is the bridge pickup.

Thanks Gents... I can't really find a substantial difference listed anywhere.

It's not a fair comparison for me to compare my Tele neck p/u with my Strat neck p/u (Duncan Vintage Staggered), because each manufatured pickup is different.

The new Tele Pickguard I have is set up for a Strat middle and neck p/u. If I decide to install a bucker in the neck position... no worries.

Not an issue if I decide to put a bucker in the middle either, it just means a strat p/u would go in the neck.

Then, if I was able to find a wiring diagram to install a toggle to split the bucker, there's be eight differnt pickup settings. Add the fact it has the Fishman Piezo's, it becomes even more versatile. After all, versatility was the idea behind the creation on the Nashville Tele.

Thanks again!
