That's not possible, just for starters the slanted position kills that theory.

I think the slanted JB jr. on my main strat sounds better than it's non slanted full size big brother on my other strat. I guess this just contributes to the "not exactly alike" point, but sometimes that is a good thing

wrong wrong double wrong !!

don't defile your tele - get a tele-sized humbucker if you must...

+1 here. It is always good to have the option to return to stock given a good Tele might likely be a friend for life.

Exactly

I want to A/B test a slanted full humbuckers, too. I get the feeling this will make a real difference.

Thanks WhoFan for the info! I may go ahead and route that baby! Now to the big question....what SD to put in there.....

I did up my Korean Squier qith a GFS bucker routed Tele bridge with a SD Phat Cat. Alder body, mapl neck, TONS of crunch, sustain and it's responsive to the volume and tone. If you really want a bucker though I think a '59 or Pearly Gates would do well in a Tele.
