Nope, I actually prefer the '59 in Fender's. Depending on what you have in the bridge you might have to mess around with electrical values. What do you plan on pairing it with?

Re: Seymour Duncan SH1 in Tele neck?
Any of the vintage output neck models will do nicely, including the butt-ugly Sentient.
It just depends on what you want.
Full Shred Neck and Jazz would be my first choices from SD. Throw a cover on the Full Shred and put slotted screws in the neck-facing coil if the aesthetics bother you. DiMarzio options are a bit more exciting: EJ Custom (neck or bridge), Bluesbucker (series/parallel switching), and The Humbucker From Hell.

Depends. Do you intend to roll the tone down on the neck pickup?
Re: Seymour Duncan SH1 in Tele neck?
On the neck usually I don't do it, sometimes i roll the tone down a bit on the bridge pickup

(*) definitely audio taper.
With an A2 in the 59 I would have said:
500k master volume and 500k master tone; bridge loaded with a 270k resistor
500k master volume and 1M* master tone; bridge loaded with a 200k resistor
500k master volume and 250k tone connected to the bridge; bridge loaded with a 510k resistor
-or-

thats what i would do as well. 250k master volume, 250k tone on the bridge pup only

And that will result in no tone control for the neck pickup?

The tone control will affect both pups when both are selected, however.

Re: Seymour Duncan SH1 in Tele neck?
correct. by wiring the tone to the bridge pup youll have a brighter neck pup which should be a good thing in your case. when the bridge pup is active either by itself or with the neck, the tone control will be active as well

Re: Seymour Duncan SH1 in Tele neck?
Having the tone control active when both pickups are selected together is generally a good thing, since the inductive loading on each pickup by the other pickup will drop the low end. The drop in mids and treble from the tone control being in circuit will help compensate.

I've heard great things about the Little '59 Tele.
