parts suppliers for small orders

[swarfrat]

I forgot some stuff on my last order. Switch, pg screws, switch screws. All my usual suppliers either want exorbitant min orders, make it up in shipping on small orders, don't have 3way switches, or don't have gold switch screws.

Anyone have suggestions?

you can buy the screws at home depot or lowes.. they are called 'decorator screws'

ie the strat pickguard screws are #4 1/2" decorator screws.  IIRC the switch screws are the same size but longer (or maybe they are one size up, #6 ?)

I find that lowes generally has a better selection of these type of screws, they carry them in nickel, black, brass (gold) and antique copper

you should be able to find the switch at GC or some other local guitar shop

www.guitarelectronics.com on the web has everything, pretty much.

BTW: Tangent, thanks for your post, I would have never known that.

These guys have treated me well and I don't believe there's a minimum.

Thanks, not sure about brass/gold, but for anyone else this might help:
Pickguard screws are #4 - 1/2" wood screws
Switch screws are #6 - 3/4" machine screws

stewmac isn't bad, but their shipping cost is ridiculous. guitar parts resource has been great! i made an order for parts to get a bass project up and running and realized i forgot strings of all things! i made a second order literally maybe 5 minutes after the first. they combined them into one order and refunded my shipping on the second order by the next day. thought that was really cool! especially since i didn't contact them or anything.

You can never have too many pickguard screws, the screws at Lowes are inexpensive and are the same thing you get from a guitar parts supplier

Found a new one - not the broadest selection, but good prices on screws and stuff, low shipping charges.
