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 http://retrospec-guitar.com/ For luthier tools, I can't help you. I don't do that kind of work.

uOpt Something Cool Sep 17, 2013 #7 Re: best place to buy supplies? 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.
