Soldering
Fits the standard Tele single-coil route regardless of handedness, but vintage-style pickups like this one are often staggered, so check with the maker about ordering the correct left-handed stagger before buying. You will need to solder it in.
Why we say this
Standard Telecaster single-coil route, not affected by handedness for mounting. This is a vintage-voiced reproduction set, and vintage-style Tele bridge pickups are commonly built with staggered pole pieces, which would need to be ordered in the correct orientation for a left-handed guitar to avoid a string-balance issue. Not confirmed here whether this specific set is flat or staggered.
