Guitars for Real Musicians

Who do you guys use for various parts? I am gonna tackle some mods (new pickups, pots, bridges, tuners, etc) and was wondering who you went to for parts. Also what kind of soldering iron and solder do you use?

Various...

I've used Whammi World for brass parts (bridges, pick up rings, ect)
Guitar fetish for supplies like wire, solder
I use a craftsman battery powered soldering iron - gets real hot and no power wire to get in the way.

As far as pick- ups go that is dependent on personal taste.

Ebay, like mentioned by gmzanatta is great for finding stuff you didn't know you wanted to install in your guitar.

Guitarelectronics.com is also a great place for all that stuff too.

Guitar Electronics is on my list of cool places to make a day trip of in the area... they are in Phoenix. But I'm gonna need cash in my pocket to spend if I'm gonna make a 30 mile drive! And that is the dilemma Crying or Very sad

They seem like the ticket for that sort of thing, and they can even help you with a custom schematic to do what you want to do with your guitar. Nice touch.
