HB sized telecaster bridge pickup

Is there one that's the closest to tele bridge pup but HB sized?

Not really. There are some really hot humbuckers that sound like a decent single coil pickup when split, but they don't sound much like a Tele bridge pickup.

If you're looking at this for your '72, keep in mind that it uses a unique pickup size, so standard humbuckers and accessories won't work without other modification to the guitar.

There are mounting plates you can get that will screw down to a standard humbucker sized space, but have an opening for a standard Tele bridge pickup.

that's right, trying to find something for my 72 deluxe.

everyone would say "hey, just sell the guitar and buy 72 custom. My answer is no because there's something special in the guitar.

I was thinking about mounting ring. Also, there's other way. Buying a pickguard with routing for tele single.

You're wanting to make drastic changes to it, are you sure there's something that special in the guitar? Most guys who have a guitar that's special would keep it pretty much the same.

I suppose you are right.
But saving the condition of the guitar will lead me to changing the stock pups because they are awful. The only thing I am afraid is that Lollar regals will not make me happy. It would be such a loss.

Why is it that you don't think you'll like the Lollars?

Best not try to turn it into something it's not.

If you're concerned about the Regals, you can check into some of the other WRHB makers.

Nope, no one would guess it - Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia.
By the way, you're from Philadelphia - one of the 10 cities that NN is twinned with.
