Since the hardware and especially the pickups are usually crap on these kits you will have to buy them separately anyway. I've had good luck with Squier necks which you can find for cheap. For bodies, the quality is less important. I tend to buy unfinished ones as I like to just stain and oil them. It's really fun to assemble guitars. I wish there were more oddball parts available easily (and cheaply)

The Strat started out as a 90s Squier I picked up at a flea market. I think the body and tuners are all that's left. The neck is Warmoth roasted maple, pickups are Fender hot noiseless, bridge is GFS with brass block
The Tele-shaped thing started as something I got in a trade. It was already stripped, but I took the orbital sander to it to make arm and belly carves. The guy I got it from said it was a Mexican tele, but who knows? It came with a Mighty Mite neck, but the current one is Warmoth, canary. The pickup is a Bill Lawrence L500XL. I think the bridge came from Armadillo.
The Warmoth necks are the modern vintage type, which I think, based on having a bunch of different ones over the years, sound better than the total Warmoth construction necks.
