Topic: is this stock?

does fender route out a room for a humbucker in the neck position on the standard/mexican tele's (the cheap ones?) I just pulled the pickguard off mine and found that little surprise. not a bad one, though. i was planning on putting a seymour duncan invader there, anyway.

Re: is this stock?

Some of the Fenders have the "swimming pool" routing that allows for different configerations of pickups. 3 single coils, 2 humbuckers, or a combination of singles and humbuckers!

I'm sorry...that probably didn't really answer your question. If you log onto the Fender website and follow the links...you can have them check your serial number and tell you what the original configeration was...

Yes this would be normal. A machine does all the work so they just make one type and just add or subtract depending on the model.
