Has anybody here ever built a guitar from a kit? Specifically, an electric guitar. I was looking at a tele style kit made by Saga. There may be others out there too. I realize that the pickups are probably not all that great, but would the guitar be a decent beater? Would I be better off saving my money for a Mexican Fender? thanks....

Save your money for a fender mexican strat, unless you are going to install nice pickups in the guitar.

Yep, from the reiviews on Harmony central save your money or contact warmoth for a kit....
