Nope. A strat has more of a rounded neck end, while a tele's is more square. A tele neck will fit a strat, but not a strat on a tele. Although you could make it work by hacking some of the end off with a band saw, but then again you might not want to do that.

i've actually heard exactly the opposite, that srat necks will fit teles but not vice versa. however unless the fretboard is extended (22 fret) it will show gaps at the corners. to put a tele neck in a strat new holes have to be drilled and it won't intonate right. so tele to strat, you have to carve out more for the neck pocket. i read this all on here http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/necks/nec ... n=faq2#KCI and i trust warmoth. i'll be ordering a cbs strat neck to put on my telecaster soon. so i really hope i'm right... hope this helps
