Members JimH Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just checking? - a Gibson or similar replacement neck bucker will properly fit a fender tele right? - I was under the impression the necks were the same spacing and the bridges different.

Members WRGKMC Posted May 18, 2011 Members Share Posted May 18, 2011 Teles are often a bit narrower than a strat. I have a few builds with a HB style tele bridge and the poles align properly. To be sure always measure you string spacing and pole positions. Most selles list the specs and theres nothing wrong with being safe than sorry when buying parts.

Members akapuli Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 The Fender Fat Tele had the Gibson-size HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I can make them in 2 spacings.Traditional spacing of 49.2mm and 50mmBoth tend to to line up pretty well with tele neck positions.With 49.2 being a little closer.
