Slanted pickups on guitar were around a long time before Leo Fender designed the Telecaster and Stratocaster. Here we see a Gibson ES-300 from 1940 with a long slanted pickup which is very nearly 7 inches in length. Later examples had a shorter pickup, which was still mounted at a slant.
This guitar comes in the original Geib 5 latch hard shell case (the seller claims that the case alone is worth $1,000), and is currently listed on eBay with a starting price of $6,500.
Thanks to Andrew K for bringing this guitar to my attention.

guitarz.blogspot.com: I really like the design of this Westone Corsair Classic, it looks almost as if a Fender Stratocaster has been given the Gibson Junior treatment. Or perhaps a slightly offset version of Fender's Lead series guitars. Of course...
