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.
