sorry for the poor description. i'll try again.

if i fit tele neck into pocket,cover pickup route withe bridge and pickup, move bridge as far back as it can go without exposing the routing holes,move saddles as far back as i can i will just measure 25.5 from nut

hope that makes it clearer

i bought a tele body whose porportions are off. the pickup routes are too close to the heel pocket so that if i put the bridge on i dont have enough adjustment to intonate to scale 25.5. the saddles will be a 1/4 inch from the back of bridge. Three possabilities occurred to me

1) I thought of buying a neck made for 24.75 but not sure it would fit tele pocket?

2) other thought was can i take a cheap strat neck and cut it down at the heel to reshape it to tele square shape and maybe help with intonation.

3) i'm out of my mind and have some expensive firewood.

the other limitation is a tight budget

TIA

aside which guitars have bolt on necks that are 24.75 as i search ebay for used necks?
