best place to buy supplies?

Re: best place to buy supplies?

For pots, knobs, electronics, wire, etc., I use:

Mostly, because of price or availability
http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/ (prices are good, but if you order a lot of stuff at once, they'll mess up the order)
http://www.allparts.com/ (prices aren't the best, but they have just about everything)

Occasionally for specialized parts or price
http://www.themusiczoo.com/ (great prices if you get on the phone and talk to a sales guy. they have stuff not on the web.)
http://www.fullcompass.com/
http://elderly.com/ (a better resource for acoustic stuff)
http://www.musicpartsguru.com/ (fender stuff)
http://www.wdmusic.com/
http://angela.com/

Don't have experience with this one, but looks like they have some good stuff

For luthier tools, I can't help you. I don't do that kind of work.

Amazon has a few parts. In particular Fender parts (including pots and the like) are on Amazon, often by sellers who use Amazon prime.

For Gibson parts, especially plastic, sweetwater is good.

Stewmac is kind of a necessary evil. They just have a lot of stuff, and are possibly the most well-known/dominant place to get supplies.
