Post subject: '72 Telecaster Deluxe pickup config question

After 6 long years of owning the Squier '72 telecaster custom reissue (with chrome plated humbuckers), I've realized it's time to move on.

The '72 Deluxe by Fender is basically the same guitar, but I'd like a more wide range of tones from the pickups than the factory setup offers.

I was thinking:

Seymour Duncan AHB-2 in the bridge, and a Fender Black Dove P-90 in the neck.

I know close to nothing about reconfiguring pickups, so I'm not even sure if I'd be able to work active pickups into a Telecaster, or if a P-90 pickup would fit a slot meant for a humbucker.

Any advice?

Infinite gratitude,
James

Only advice I would have is to hold on to the pick guard from your Squire if you plan on changing out the WRHB's on the Fender as the WRHB's are huge and you would need the Squire guard to hold a regular sized 'bucker.

Hope someone else chimes in with a recommendation for you. Sorry I couldn't be of much help in that respect.

Best of luck,

CC
