those carvin kits are probably pretty good, for my kit experience I got a saga,
which was at a store so I could look VERY closely at each and every part before I bought one, unless you could do the same I don't recommend sagas, the carvin should be great though, another good strat-style would be here:

and then for some good pickups you could get GFS ones.
