I've been using CraigsList to track down my sacrificial guitar. All that I'm looking for at this point is something with a straight neck, good neck joint and minimal fret wear. Having the electronics work was secondary, but nice to have in order to keep with my "can play at any time" build philosophy.
It occurred to me that I really do want a bolt on neck, not just because it will be cheaper (I don't like to spend too much money on stuff I know I'm just going to throw away), but because it also allows me to build a body and a neck at separate times. It may seem like a crime to have a sweet body with a junk neck (or vice versa), but it does permit me to build at my leisure without having to go "all in".
Lots of searching appears to be pushing me towards a Squier Strat or Strat knock-off as my starting point. Probably not too much of a surprise.
