I am being offered a Tele body and I have a nice Rockinger Strat neck so I'm considering to build a humbucker equipped Strat/Tele out of the parts.

Now I'm wondering if Gibson 490R and 490T pickups will line up to the string spacing on a Tele?

thanks

Jim

I made a Tele with a HB in the neck position and it lined up just fine. I get a lot a very cool tones out of this guitar too.

The Gibsons will be ok for the neck but for the bridge you will need a F-spaced pickup unless your using a narrower import bridge.
