EDIT: brain ticking over here ... I could buy the body say next year, finish it in nitro and leave it hanging in the garage/cupboard until I'm ready to build ... a few years worth of wood breathing and aging going on there!

All Parts is reputable, although I have never played a guitar made from their wood. My uneducated guess is that as long as the wood is cut to Fender's specs and not falling apart, they could be licensed....even some of the low end Fenders use some really cheap wood.
I am not a handy man when it comes to building, painting, etc. I could put together a new PC....but properly painting a guitar or doing wood work as out of my league. I'd need step by step illustrated instructions (Cary, how's that Relicing project going?).
I did not find the Baja Player's Classic Tele at the Vegas Guitar Center (which is just like normal Guitar Center, BTW). Nor did I find a Taylor 110e. In other news, I'm seeing the Police and Elvis Costello on Friday night!
