Build my own Tele Player II modified?
I picked up one of these recently at a music store and really loved it: Fender Player II Modified Telecaster Electric Guitar - Fiesta Red, Rosewood Fingerboard, Sweetwater Exclusive | Sweetwater
But my next guitar was going to be Warmoth T-style, exactly how I wanted it. I did a S-style a few years ago and it's so, so great. I dig into the pricing and wow, painted body and neck and I'm at the cost of the Fender. Plus, I think the pickups and bridge are really why the one I played sounded so good. I'm not sure how to get Tele individual saddles that are chrome on brass.
Just throwing this out for the community to comment on: any advice or thoughts? I'm thinking I'm going to spend like $600 more for the Warmoth, where the off the rack guitar can be one I know sounds and plays great right away...
Thanks for listening
