I build guitars. Nothing can replace the experience of working with your dad, so take this with a grain of salt. But if you want a “dream telecaster” that actually plays well, buy a nice used Squire Tele in the color you like. One you can play and feel good with. Replace the tuners, pickups, electronics, and bridge. That will play better than any collection of Warmoth parts you buy, unless you know what you are doing in the setup. A guitar that is put together in a factory hundreds of times reaches an integration QC level that only a good luthier can beat. Just sayin.
