Hey Fender people, just gonna throw a quick question here.

I have a Squier STANDARD Telecaster (serial no. ICS11------) and I just wanna know if the bridge is routed for a humbucker too? (I know the neck is)
I want to have a humbucker installed there if ever.

Oh and one more question, can a regular Jazzmaster neck pickup fit a regular cavity intended for a humbucker?

Sorry if my questions puzzle you somehow, English is not my de jure tongue. Thanks!

Just few screw to remove and you'll have the answer.

Standard Teles are not routed for a humbucker in the Bridge. The John 5 is the only Double humbucker body with the standard tele control plate. Custom's have the double route but also have the 4 controls and the switch in the upper body like a LP. Jazzmaster pickups are longer than humbuckers so they would need routing to fit then finding a pickguard might be tricky let alone finding a bridgeplate. Squier does have a vintage mod. Tele special with a Jazzzmaster PU in the neck. look at sweetwater.com the picture shows the pickup is wider than the bridge plate so you would have to go with a hardtail bridge
