Fender micro tilt neck and ABR bridge

Ddigger

This is a bit of a pipe dream as opposed to a work in progress, but I am sure someone will have done this before...

Is there enough adjustment in a Fender micro tilt neck pocket to achieve the required neck angle that allows a Gibson style ABR bridge to be fitted?

Body would probably be a Tele Deluxe.

I had a look at the Jim Adkins thin line tele (which has a set neck) and the trouble maker telecasters (but couldn't find any good pictures of the neck pocket).

Thanks

I wouldn't rely on the micro tilt to get a large angle, but it is probably usable as a way to set up things initially.
The tilt is achieved by a threaded bolt, acting on a  metal insert on the neck, so there is not a lot of contact area.
I like to adjust my saddles quite high, so I generally start out with a thick business card as a shim, I think an ABR would need maybe twice as much shim to get the height needed.
Jeff Beck had a Tele Gib with ABR and stop bar, I think Seymour Duncan built it, so it is definitely do able.
