Telecaster P90 install?

WES

I recently purchased a Telecaster (Mexican). It is a Nashville model with the third pickup (strat pickup in middle), and the pickups are the Tex Mex's throughout. Although impressed with the tone the guitar generates, I have been contemplating installing a Lindy Fralin P90 in the neck position. Other then modifying the pickguard, how difficult would the swap be? Would it be worth it? How involved is a pickup change? Would the middle pickup create problems with the P90?

more than likely the body will need to be routed as well as the pickguard in fact I know it will. Not sure of the ramifications from the middle pickup

If you go that "route" (no pun intended) get it done professionally
