This is a deal. Link is to Fender.com

I've played a few of these new Affinity models and was impressed with the basic bones.
The pickups and controls are junk of course. ( I realized that I was a bit harsh saying this. Everything is good enough for a starter electric guitar and has a Telly sound, it just can be better, but not at that price)
I couldn't buy an unfinished body and neck for this price.
I just ordered 1. I've got some brand-new Wilkinson vintage overwound pickups ready to go in it.

ETA: the site is a little slow. The price will display as $249.99 at first, but will correct to $174.99 after a few seconds total cost with tax was $181.99.

We also have this Sonic Strat, that is a really decent guitar for the price:

I would be willing to bet, that guitar has standard strat routing under the pickguard, if you wanted to buy a loaded strat pickguard to go on it.
I know that Affinity Telly has a humbucker rout at the neck, so you can do a sort of Bluesboy thing with it.

You son of a bitch! I just ordered this. I don't have a black tele. I'll probably throw some bootstrap pickups in it.
