  • Where to get USA parts

    Does anyone know where I can purchase pots and 3way switchs that are like the ones in the USA/custom models. I've bought some parts from Stewmac in the past but they don't seem to be as good as the ones found in my KE2. Thanks

    If I want anything like that, I have to get my local retailer to order them.
    Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

            Check out rsguitarworks.net and read about their pot upgrade kits.They are awesome.CTS pots Hovland caps and switch craft jacks and switches.I have installed many of these kits and have never had anyone not completly astounded at how much better their guitar sounded after the installation of the upgrade kit.
            Lots of big name players love these kits.

                rsguitarworks.net is the best I can do when I try to post a link it wont go thru.
                Roy at RS is a wiring guru and he does lots of r&d with pots caps and has come up with some specs and had CTS make them to his specs.He designed the first cap exclusivly for the electric guitar not just a high end audio cap.The Hovland guitarcap.

                      Allparts is too expensive. Yea, I buy from them, when I have to. Try www.guitarpartsresource.com, www.guitarelectronics.com, and www.angela.com. You are correct StewMac sells imported electronics except for the Switchcraft 1/4" jacks. I talked to them about this, but they didn't budge. Good luthier supply though.
