Tele Body with a CBS Strathead Neck?

[ApeDosMil]

I"m wondering if its possible to use a Tele Custom Body from Warmoth (4 hole neck drill setup) with a CBS 70"s strathead style neck from Fender with 4 holes? I read somewhere that Strat Necks are tilted differently or something like that so they can"t work with tele bodies... I sent a e-mail to warmoth, but I figured here would be a good place to ask.

Maybe this will help.

From the warmoth site:

The heel shape of Strat® necks is rounded at the end, Teles® are squared. Strat® necks will fit Tele® bodies but show a gap at the corners. Tele® necks may not intonate on a Strat® body without neck pocket modification.

Thank you! I can't believe I missed that. Well I guess I'm in a good stand since I'm getting a Tele custom body by warmoth from ebay.

Funnily enough I seen a cbs strat headed tele at the local music shop this week, didn't look too bad either.
