Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster neck swap, will it work?

I have a Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster Standard. The only thing I don't love about it, is the 12" radius fretboard.
I happen to have a 9.5" radius roasted maple Telecaster neck that would bolt right on, but I don't know if it will work with the acoustic bridge that's on the guitar, since it was designed with a 12" radius fretboard in mind. All dimensions are identical except for the fretboard radius.

Are the bridge saddles adjustable? If not, yeah, it could be an issue getting it to set up properly.

No, it has an acoustic bridge and saddle. That's the problem, otherwise I would have already swapped it out. It's not really a difficult swap at all; I'll probably do it, then if it doesn't work out just put it back like it is.

You can change the saddle to one with the correct radius. You may need to make one from scratch, I don't think anyone makes a 9.5 acoustic saddle

I'm hoping I can get by without changing the saddle. These have a very unique saddle design and also have a stationary humbucker pickup just in front of the bridge. I don't know how it would affect performance of that.
