Here's a breakdown of a Tuxedo Telecaster Partscaster that I built last year. It turned out to be a sweet player for not a tremendous amount of money. Big shout out to the TDPRI forum for being a great resource for planning this guy out and solving issues as they came up. Below is a breakdown of the parts, with eBay store name: Neck $120 Cycochik Body $88 justdave1538 Pickguard $13 mlaval-guitar Tuners $13.50 partsguitarsummer Bridge Pickup Hot Stack for Tele $36.00 sablestar1 4 Way wiring harness $68.00 hoaglandbrothersguitarcompany Charlie Christian $115.00 tmm95 Bridge ~$30 Wilkinson ~$450.00 for parts $230 Setup! A lot of lessons learned on this one. My next tele I wired myself and managed to not shear the wires off of the bridge pickup.
