Paint suppliers anyone?

I know of these, never tried any, but would love to hear of
some alternatives or testimonials of any below listed.

http://reranch.com/
http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/lacquer.html

I really can't vouch for anyone mention above... my first jazzmaster
project is under-way and it's still in the early stages, but staying tuned
and eyes/ears open for paint and supplies, etc.. thanks for this post loomer.

Another nitro lacquer supplier in the UK:

http://www.tonetechluthiersupplies.co.u ... ducts.html

They sell 1, 2.5 and 5 litre cans as well as 440ml aerosol cans - pretty standard range of colours and good range of tints.

I had a rattlecan of amber tinted clear from them and it was a much finer, more powerful spray than the Manchester Guitar Tech cans - hard to control when all I wanted was a slight neck tint - much more liable to build-up and running than the MGT ones I've had.

Worth mentioning that Steve at MGT will order any colours he hasn't got up on the site - it took him just a couple of days to get me some more cans of Sherwood Green Metallic when he ran out. I presume he just gets them from somewhere like paints4u.com and re-stickers them.

This French place has some stuff, and it says they do European shipping. You have to download their catalog to see what they offer:

For the pickguard - I'd try Chandler pickguards, dasbootman(ebayseller) or pickguardian. For the neck - I'd contact Musikraft.
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

I recently emailed Fender regarding the mount screws for the AVRI Jaguar's mute, and they came back with a part number and said I could order it from any licensed dealer. I asked the guy if there was a place I could order from on the inter-webs, and he said Music Parts Guru.

Does anyone know where to find Mustang bass pickup covers (white if possible !) ?

I noticed this place has some Strat-type necks with vintage radius (for Jazzmaster projects) at good prices, as well as a Jag/JM tailpiece:
