They even do it on the vintage modified fretless, if squire can do it, it cant be too much effort for fender to do it with the huge price gap there.

Dogg you have never been able to do that with Strats, they are not built like a Jazz bass.

I'm getting an amp soon too. I want a Telecaster as well. Just a standard probably. :|

Fender actually makes a Telecaster model of the one I got. It looks just as good and it's about the same price

Strat Model
Tele Model

That's pretty sexy. I'm not a huge fan of the sunburst though. But hey, if it sounds good, then who cares about the finish?
EDIT- I like the Lite Ash Telecaster as well. It's cheaper, and has Seymour Duncans, but the body is ash with a birdeye maple neck. Plus, I love guitars with natural finishes. I'm just wondering how both guitars would fare playing anything from hardcore to indie. I know they're Telecasters, so I'm hoping they'll be just fine.

I'd go down to a local guitar shop and try both out, and if they don't have both in at once they might be able to order one/both for you to test. Most places should do that, the George's Music down by my place does anyway.

What about, just buying a standard Telecaster, then swapping the pickups out?

Indeed I did! I am playing it now actually.
It is an Epiphone, not a Gibson. I actually like Epis, they sound like the Gibsons do but play like a Fender.
