Maybe the time has come for you to build one instead of buying "off the rack". Check out these books:

Building The Ultimate Solid Body Guitar

Building The Ultimate Fender Telecaster

I bought a copy of the first one, and it was a real eye-opener! I've been lusting after a Tele for some time now. I'm going to get a copy of the second book, and start acquiring parts. Don't worry if you miss one of these auctions. Ron Kirn has these titles on eBay all the time. Just click on the link to "View seller's other items" and use the "Buy it now" link for the title you want.
