Other than the mounting screw holes being different on a standard Tele vs. an Elite will a standard Tele neck work as a replacement on an Elite?

I may need to replace the neck on my Elite, and wondering if I'm able to order a nice Tele neck to do this (with NO mounting holes so that those can be made to work), and wondering if this would work. Or if I could even order a custom Tele neck from Warmoth (with no mounting holes) and if that would work for the Elite.

Thank you for any help in this area!

It's all about measurements. Measure the depth of your neck at the pocket end, measure the width of your neck at the pocket end, and use those numbers in your search for a new one.
If you use one that has already been drilled, fill the holes with tooth picks/dowels and wood glue, sand smooth, and drill your own. It's important to fill the old holes in case the new holes come in contact with any part of the old holes.
Heck; you could use a baseball bat, so long as it fits properly in the neck pocket of your guitars' body.
