Any recommended suppliers/ brands for Telecaster Body?

I've got a CIJ 50's tele which I really like and have upgraded the standard pickups to the same "original Vintage" pickups as fitted to the US '52 reissue and have also upgraded the selector switch. Love the neck which is like a Neanderthal's club.

What I'd really like to do is swap the current body (tobacco burst basswood) to an ash or swamp ash body with a nitro butterscotch blonde finish.

I'd prefer to get one already finished 'cos I don't trust my painting ability - any suggestions for sources? Price is important but I'm not looking for false economy - I want one that is accurate,  fits well and is decent quality.

    Fender?
    I'm not being silly - Fender are now selling necks and bodies, plus they do come up for sale s/h on eBay
