I think the earliest one I can recall was blues great Albert Collins, who bought his '66 Tele used in the late 60s with a Gibson humbucker already in the neck. No doubt there were guys doing that kind of thing even before that, but there sure wasn't the amount of modding going on back then that there is today!

Cheers, Tim
