Buy a used one - that solves the price issue. I managed to find one of the relic ones with the 9.5" neck radius and larger medium-jumbo frets (a couple of dealers can get those including Fat Sound and Wildwood, it's got an amazing neck with most of the finish gone on the back, a very light and resonant body, you couldn't hope to duplicate this with a partscaster unless you were very very lucky. And if you ever tire of a used Nocaster, you can get your money back out of it easily. Not so with a partscaster, you'd be lucky to get 1/2 your parts costs back.
