Not without some serious modifications. The most common use of a strat pickup in a telecaster is to add a strat pickup in the middle position. In order to do this, one must route the guitar's body and pickguard to accommodate the pickup. This configuration often requires a 5 way pickups selector switch, which means replacing the stock 3 way switch of a telecaster. Unfortunately strat pickups cannot replace tele pickups without routing. The telecaster neck has different dimensions than a strat pickup, and the bridge pickup has a special mounting.

How do you convert telecaster sound to Les Paul?

Are you asking how do you get a Telecaster sound from a Les paul?, or are you asking how do you get a Les paul from a Telecaster. If you want a Les Paul sound from a Telecaster, have the stock Tele single coil pickups exchanged for "humbucking" style pickups, and this will give you a sound very similar to what you're looking for..... If you're trying to get a Tele sound from a Les Paul, have an EMG series "89" pickup installed in the bridge position on the Tele. The series "89" pickup has a push-pull pot which separates the single coil (on top) from the double coil (on bottom). Use the pot in the "up" position to give you a sound very similar to the Telecaster.


What music is a fender strat best for?

A Fender Strat is best for all types of music, because you have the option of using three different pickups, therefore giving you options of differents tones. Strats are commonly used in classic rock, funk, ska, country, pop. Strats can be used for Metal but you'll find that the single coil pickups that commonly come with a Fender strat sound thin, therefore it would be better to use a guitar equipped with humbuckers.


Why do musicians choose the Stratocaster?

The strat isn't as popular anymore among metal players because they use a 7.5 or 9 inch neck radius and single coil pickups. If you are playing classic rock or blues or something else with not alot of (if any) distortion and reletively low output then the strat would be comfortable and sound good.


What guitar does Taylor Momsen use?

Fender Custom Telecaster HH FMT, with Dimarzio super distortion pickups. The all black models are kind of rare. Hers is customized, just a volume knob, no tone control. She probably favors this instrument for it's very light weight and slim neck. The super distortion pickups are loud and rude!


What instrument did Lynyrd Skynyrd play?

Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. 'Freebird' clearly shows the use of a Gibson Firebird in the second break. This is not the same as an Explorer which has regular humbuckers; the Firebird has slender single-coil Alnico-type pickups with a distinctive sound. Also, 'Sweet Home Alabama' clearly indicates the use of a Telecaster or else an old-style (50's) Strat on the bridge pickup. I believe the Les Paul/Explorer/Strat combo to be typial of live shows rather than what the songs were recorded with.

What kind of guitar does Jonny Greenwood use?

His main guitar is a Fender Telecaster Plus, I think from around '94 (they don't make this any more) The main difference between this and other Telecasters are the Lace Sensor Pickups - Red dually in the bridge and a blue in the neck. Also, he has a kill switch installed.

What is the different with fender standard stratocaster electric guitar and fender standard stratocaster hss electric guitar?

HSS refers to the pickups. The standard Strat has three Single coil pickups, and would be designated SSS. The H in HSS implies that the bridge pickup is a Humbucker. This became popular because many players find that a single coil in the bridge position sounds too thin and sharp.
