As far as a kit and upgrades are concerned, if I was loading a Telecaster from scratch the hardware would cost me around $400 - $500, so buying a Mexico Tele would be a better deal. But the only reason to build one rather than buy one is you want to build one more than you want to simply own one. A MIM Telecaster is a top notch guitar, most people would be hard-pressed to build one from a kit, or from scratch, that was as good. Oddly, even knowing that I still continue to build guitars...
