I've always loved the sound of a tele neck pickup, always hated teles (play like crap with the old bridges, sound like crap with the new ones, just my opinion). My main axe is a LP Special SL (don't laugh -- it's been touring for a decade, survived a flood and 2 skinhead riots, plus it's kinda like that beat up lazy boy with the ass groove in it). It's got a p-100 in the neck, an Iommi in the bridge.
Could I put a Tele neck pup in without modifying/routing the body? I know they have that flap on the bottom. Would the difference in wood make this a futile exercise? If that's the case, can someone suggest a P90-sized replacement that could replicate that tele sound? Maybe a P90? Man I'd feel stupid if that were the answer.
