Can you put a Telecaster pickup in a Strat?

Are Tele and Strat bridge pickups the same?

Why is the bridge pickup on a Telecaster slanted?
Single Coils on Strats, Teles, and Other Guitars The simplest explanation is that with the slanted pickup positioning, you get more response from the treble strings and more control over the low-end strings. The closer the pickups are to the bridge, the brighter and more treble-heavy the sound becomes.
Are Strat pickups different?
In general you’ll get a brighter, snappier sound from the neck position pickup, and bridge pickups are considered “hotter” or more powerful. But that singular Strat sound has more to do with the overlooked middle pickup than the other two.

What’s the difference between a Gibson 52 and a 52 Pickup?
The 52 has the neck mini humbucker, a thicker finish (even though it says thin skin, it’s definitely not as thin), fatter frets, less rolled edge, wider neck (at least to my hand), flatter radius, thicker coat on the neck and a little more orangey, and a very punchy bridge pickup. Also all great if that’s the spec you’re looking for.
