I'm building one from a warmoth body, the rest I'm getting from FatDog from Subway guitars. and the body was 175, plus shipping, I think it was 188.75 or something. And I am getting the neck, hardware, a paint job, and pickups and every thing for about 300, so plus gas to take it there and get it back, its gonna be about 500. But if I went with all warmoth parts, I think it was going to be a little more then 800 to build and I think that was with out getting them to paint it. You could always get the body from them, paint it your self and try to find a short scale neck on ebay or craigslist for cheap.
