short answer is 'no'. Long answer is I looked around the net extensively with no luck. The bobbin, and therefore the pup hole in the bridge plate is wider than normal strat/mustang covers. Depending on the coils you could possibly file down the bobbin to fit a mustang robroe but there would be a gap.

I'm assuming a robroe cover over standard tele bridge pup would make it too big for the hole... If such a thing exists then it's likey to be a whole pup. What about EMG and Lace senser? Thier pickups are robroe-ish mebbe they do a tele pup to buy or dismantle for purpose?

Do an Greenwoodz?

Actually, couldn't one take a brass baseplate and try their luck at mating it to a Robroe'd strat deal? I'm curious just the same.

If not, get a flat polepiece tele babe (Nocaster, etc.) and do the obvious.

emg = expensive

if i can find a cheap lace sensor, perhaps prying off the case will work

eh?

not sure how you would mount it onto the bridge plate but you can put a strat cover over it
