Strats, P-90s and Tele neck, yes.  But are you talking humbuckers?

If it is a BK pickup you can send it in and have the cover fitted.
So many pickups, so little time

it is a bkp humbucker, it's just too pricey shipping it back and forth.

Not sure when Tim stopped it, but he has.

If it's not, you might find the polepiece spacing doesn't quite match. 

For example DiMarzio's "standard" and "F" spacing are both narrower than the BKP equivalents.
