Hi All,
I have an American Standard Tele with the stock pickups and I want to change them out for either the nocaster 51's or the vintage 52's set. I can't find anything that says either will NOT fit in a straight swap out, does anyone have experience with this type of pickup change? concerns/problems or no problem at all.

thanks in advance!!

You can just swap them right away. Just pay attention if you are changing just one of the pickups for let's say, a Seymour Duncan. These have a different magnet polarity; that would give you an out-of-phase combo when using the middle pickup selector position (both together). But Fenders for Fenders no problem.

By the way, You gonna notice your stock bridge pickup doesn't have a baseplate, and the Nocaster or OV do have. You don't need to cut off the metal ring (it's used for grounding) off from your bridge pickup and sold it to your new bridge pickup, like a friend of mine once did :roll:
