410.00 I think Ted is running a special right now that is even cheaper. Also, I built a BYOC pedal before buying the amp kit to see if I could hack it.... Those kits are cool I have 4 homemade pedals now and am starting to sell off the stuff that was store bought (which I use the proceeds for the next project.

Jack Wells and Buckocaster and the Rices (and a bunch of other really talented people on the board0 are nothing short of an inspiration to me that even if I stink it up, it can be fixed and made okay.... (I already checked with a local guitar tech buddy to ask if he'd bail me out if I screwed up and he laughed and said "no problem" and I know why... after I'm done I'd never complain about a bill!)
My tele project is pretty simple. rosewood neck (I think it is a mighty mite, it looks and feels very nice.. I got it for 80 on the bay... I got a Ben Heffer body it is nice for 90... unkie al hooked me up with a cool logo file in illustrator so that is square, I'm gonna do some butterscotch goodness to the neck (back and headstock) I bought white, CAR, and a cool fender green (the name escapes me and I'm too lazy to go look) I bought a satellite car emblem, bushing adaptere, classic klusons, Bennie Trevillian pickups, mint pg, wilkinson bridge, electrosocket (although I'm toying with the classic setup too) and when I'm done I'm going to have Brian F put a PW long throw bender in it
Haven't decided on the paint scheme... toyed with calling it the buxican an doing a buck guitar with mexican flag colors (I"m 1/4 mexican and when I hear "Streets of Bakersfield" I think of the crap my grandfather got just for his nation of origin although he became a citizen etc) and mixing in some Clarence goodness.... I'm open to suggestions... I've also thought that it would be cool to paint the front and back green and do the thickness in white with green pinstripes on the white... maybe too ambitious... honestly if you have thoughts I'm open to them... I want this guitar to be the one I play the most when I leave the house.... and I have wanted a bender forever and just need to suck it up and get it done...
sorry for the ramble.
