Hi

I really don't have any knowledge of electronics at all, but is it possible to explain the main difference between strat pickups and tele pickups to me? If you use difficult words about electronics could you please explain them otherwise I won't understand it.

Short answer , they do not use same parts = different sound / tone.

Like a Ford car and General Motor car

Here are a couple things.

The Tele neck pickup features thinner coil wire than the Strat pups and the Tele bridge pup, 43 gauge vs 42 gauge.

Often Tele bridge pups have a metal plate on the bottom (which I believe is used to increase the inductance).

As with all rules, there are exceptions. The Twisted Tele neck pickup uses 42 gauge wire to produce a more Strat-like tone.

I don't know about these guitars but for pickups sound and / or tone there are more than the wire gauge.
