Since this thread should include all the suppliers of parts, someone should put up the pages of the French fellow who makes plates with 4 switches and Cobain style. He also seems to make Mustang saddles that can raised individually.

Any Jazzmaster or Strat. It's a standard 25.5" scale. Some closer shots of mine here:
index.php/topic,7322.msg200226.html#msg200226 Fullerplast and Jazzprod have both used them, too.

I'm building a Jag with WRHPs for another forumite at the moment, and when it's done I'll be able to post a full list of all the parts and the cheapest suppliers I could find. In the meantime, I'll pm you with some info.

Looking for a brown tortoise shell pick guard for my cij jazzmaster. I'm having no luck at all. I see plenty for the avri, any suggestions? Right now I have a red tortoise shell guard that I think is just ugly! I call it hamburger meat
here is what it looks like now

question.. best place to find.. Actual "VINTAGE" parts?
ebay?
OSG?
Yup at super "vintage" prices..... but then you will have a partsmaster if you go too far...meaning you'll make a frankenmaster....its ok if one or two parts are missing from your already real vintage 60's era JM....better to get a new AVRI and wait for time to make it vintage. at least its wholly original parts...In restoring my '63 which had most of the parts taken from me..I decided to go with NOS or new genuine Fender parts. Cheaper, newer and still Fender...

Angela recently changed/upgraded their website ... the webshop is now much better.
Maybe the comment "reasonable prices, but not too many pics. somewhat hard to find what your looking for" (in the first post)
can be amended now.. cause it's really something else now.. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I saw it.

Yeah - I saw that too a couple of weeks ago when browsing for Electrolytic caps for my Bassman.
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

I'm adding Glendale to the list.
I'm using succesfully (good intonation and nice sound) 1/4'' steel saddles from Glendale on my Sq. CV Duo-Sonic, replacing the stock saddles.
I'm using the stock length screws in place of the screws that came with the new saddles.

Someone mentioned "Jay" for the white witch hat knobs. Can you provide a link to his profile here? I've tried searching the forum but have not had any luck yet.
Thanks!
I've used curtis novak, Seymour Duncan, TV jones, Warmoth, GRguitars, Allparts, Angelas, StewMac, tubesandmore.com - Antique Electronic Supply, hoffman amps, ebay and local music stores.
