I'd like to buy a Squier tele and change the neck pickup to a Seymour Duncan Custom Mini Humbucker but don't want to have to drill. Does anyone know if the cavity is large enough to hold the humbucker or if there is only space for a single coil?
Thanks.

Most Teles have room only for a single coil however many pickup companies make humbuckers for the Tele that fit right into the single coil spot without any mods at all.

Including Seymour Duncan.

BMW-KTM, thank you for your reply, but the pickup that I want to install is the Custom Mini-Humbucker SM-2.
But your answer was helpful. Basically, I would have to drill to make the cavity larger.
Thanks again.

No, you need a router.
