A "Fat" Tele was a Tele made by Fender with a Humbucker in the neck position and a single coil in the bridge. It was wired with a 5 way switch part number 0039003000. This switch is not a standard Strat switch, nor is it a superswitch and YES it will fit with no major modifications. I have 2 Teles wired this way and I absolutely LOVE the 5 different sounds. I wouldn't wire a Tele with this pup configuration any other way. You still get the Tele twang. You also get the Humbucker and bridge together not to mention some awesome single coil sounds and it is so easy to wire from the diagram given to you through Deaf Eddie's link. Do it now!!
