Holy crap. I came to this thread to pwn your list with my fairly big list.
Nevermind. *slowly walks away*But really, well done. You've thoroughly researched this. I made a pretty big list of guitar parts sites, and compared them all for prices on certain items like truss rods, strap loks, fretwire, etc. I figure if I order bulk amounts of each item from the cheapest site, I could save alot. ![]() |

^ I'm starting to buy in bulk now, you can save quite alot. I'm just about to order quite a few mastergrade east indian rosewood backs, sides, fretboards and bridges for pretty cheap.

Yeah, I started doing that too. I plopped like $80 down for 6 dual-action truss rods.
I figure that should last me at least til next summer.... |

For electronic parts like caps, resistors, pots, LEDs, etc., you can't beat Futurelec.
