I just put together this kit I got off Amazon, a Bexgears Thinline Telecaster for $139. I did have to upgrade the pickups as the ones it came with were bad, I went with Fender Vintage 50’s Vintera for $100, so I am in it for $240.
The kit went together quite easily, finish is just OK, I’m no expert, I just dyed it and finished with poly. From any distance away it looks great, but close up shows flaws, (there is nothing wrong with the kit, just my lack of skill).
Right out of the gate, it plays and sounds fantastic, it may be my best guitar. The neck feels great, even though it is thinner than what I would have chosen, l got used to it in about 30 seconds.
Only problem spot is one pesky high fret that I can’t seem to level, just needs a little more work. I’ve been learning as I go, but the frets otherwise were great. I assume that the tuners won’t last, but so far they are fine. I have been wanting another Tele for 30 years, I can’t put it down.

Took my DIY 50ies inspired Tele to a blues jam. Unsurprisingly it felt right at home…

(And no, I didn’t buy it, just saw it in the store.)

The stamp on Jimmy Page's dragon rosewood neck is 58. But who knows the real story on that.

I put this in The Semester of Solo Guitar thread (thanks for starting it, Jeff), but it also belongs here.
I pulled my Tele out last night for the first time in months and improvised the way I used to do on my old gig. It’s a 1991 MIM toploader with the six saddle bridge; poplar body, maple neck, D’A Chromes. I’m playing through my Jazz 12, with everything set to noon:

New Tele:
Warmoth neck, 1 3/4" at the nut, standard scale, 10–14" compound radius
Warmoth alder chambered body, French polished (by me, far from perfect). Being as soft as alder is, I've already dinged it up.
Tortoiseshell pickguard
Wilde Micro-coil pickups
Gotoh three-piece bridge with compensated saddles
I've had the neck for at least 10 years, if not 15; it's been on several different cheap guitar bodies. I decided, but I wanted to have a better quality standard looking Tele. So far I'm pleased. It's light, comfortable, resonant and plays quite well. Still experimenting with pickup adjustments, etc.
heavenly playing from a young Gilad
