Interesting thread to check out on the telecaster forum. Guy scratch builds a replica 53 tele and makes almost everything himself. 20 pages worth but incredible to read through:

Good grief!! This is so absolutely awe-inspiring... ? That man was definitely motivated/determined/inspired/driven.

This says it all:

My WORKPLACE is a dream! Webb CNC knee mill, Hardinge CNC lathe and toolroom lathe. Software we work in is Solidworks, Mastercam 9 and X2. Not stuff that you would have in a home shop. Webb CNC we bought in 99' for $38,000. Solidworks software around $5,000 and Mastercam level3 with solids around $16,000. Not your typical home stuff!

Given equipment like that and some CNC knowledge, there ain't nothing you can't do. Impressive as all hell. I would give my left...
