Can you turn a STRAT into a TELE? | Gear Corner

#stratocaster #telecaster #fender

My favourite strat mod is throwing a tele bridge pickup in there. You need to modify a strat to make a tele pickup fit though.
Is it worth the trouble? Will a strat turn into a tele thanks to that? What do I need to mod on my strat?
Find all the answers and more in the video. 🙂
Enjoy!
