Thinking of buying this Kurt Cobain Jaguar neck to put on my Chris Shiflett signature Tele Deluxe cuz the white binding looks sickkk. Will it be a snug and proper fit or do i have to worry about sizing issues at all?

I'd be less concerned with the neck having a decent fit, and more concerned with the intonation issues you're likely to encounter.
The Tele has a 25.5 inch scale length, and the Jaguar has a 24 inch scale length.

Getting the thing to play in tune is rather more desirable attribute than looking cool is.

Yes, to get this to play even remotely in tune beyond the first couple of frets, you would need to move the bridge up quite a bit, and make a custom pickguard.
By no means impossible, but it's not something I'd recommend as a first project unless you're good at woodworking, routing, and know your logarithms.

Stinky mix, John.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
