I have a 2011 MIM 60th Anniversary Standard Telecaster that I recently bought. I wasn't sure if I would like a Tele compared to my Strat so a less expensive Mexican made version
was the perfect solution since I like mods. I'm really impressed with the quality. I was considering putting a mini humbucker in the neck position but wasn't sure how big the cut out is stock. Is the neck cavity bigger than the small stock pickup it comes with, or will it need routing out some?

The easiest way to tell would be to take a peek. I know the road worn tele's have a single coil rout, but I think I remember the standard teles having a humbucker rout just like the American standard. You can get a mini humbucker in a tele neck body if not. The bobbin sizes are near identical, you can stack them in the neck pickup cover.
