Hey, can I get your opinion on favorite Tele PU's for the Neck position?

Also, can I place one in an Am Standard Strat?

Thanks,

My #1 absolute favorite Tele neck pickup is a DiMarzio Twang King.

You can place a Tele neck pickup an Am Std Strat but you're going to have to mount it like a Tele pickup is typically mounted. This is, unless you get a Strat pickguard pre-cut for a Tele neck pickup and its height adjustment screw holes where the threaded holes in the Tele pickup's bobbin would have to be enlarged to accept pickguard type mounted height adjustment screws.

Might I recommend the one who wound mine, Aaron Campbell (don't sue me here for posteing your name, Aaron :D )? He wound my strat pickups and I play the neck pickup a lot. It is sweet-sounding with a little more midrange than you'd expect from a mid-60s style pickup. But onto teles anyway, I've heard he winds them real nice. Check out his site here.

I'm sure that they're good as well. Heard nothing but raves about them.
