The idea for the TeleStrat pickup came from one of my customers who talked to me about the possibility of creating such a thing, this was completely his idea. After that conversation I went and designed the flanges using VCarve Pro and cut the pieces out on my CNC machine. The TeleStrat pickup would just pop into any position of your Strat or Strat copy guitar, no modifications of the pickguard or body rout. It can also be used with a standard Tele neck pickup cover. The pole piece spacing is that of a Tele neck pickup and the bottom flange is the same dimensions as a Strat pickup's bottom flange. After creating the TeleStrat pickup I thought it might be a good idea to create a hybrid Strat pickup for guitar players who might want a Strat pickup in the bridge position of their Telecaster? (Maybe...)
