Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

Sure, it's possible (you're referring to a pickup right?)... The problem you'll have is the polepieces won't align with the strings properly. The pickup needs to be F-spaced (Fender spacing; Duncan refers to this spacing as 'Trembucker' spacing). This accomodates the wider Fender/Floyd Rose string spread.

The old trick was to slant the pickup...ala the O.G. Frankenstein and the old Kramer Barrettas....though you're probably not going to want to route a big hole in your Dinky...
Well... No. (and yes, I'm talking 'bout a 500T.)
Although, I've heard that there wouldn't be a difference in sound etc...
Allow me to be a bit more specific 'bout this:
My Dinky has a Duncan Designed HB-102B 'bucker, which essentially is a shoe-string-budget JB. For the past 3 days & nights, I've been wondering should I change the damn thing. A Gibson 500T's been the point of reference during that time, tonewise.
So, my (now clarified) question is "Can I just pop the fucker in? Without doing any woodwork whatsoever?"
Yes
Yes, but you may have the alignment problem I mentioned. Does it use a mounting ring, and if so, does it fit in that?

Well, I imagine the stock one fits if that's what it came with....
Yes....it can be done
Man, people did it all the time before there were pickups with "F-spacing"...
It works just fine...
I had that problem with the 1st guitar I built...this WAS in the days before F-spacing...ended up with a slightly noticable volume drop on the high 'E'...not TERRIBLE, mind you.
