I actually have the pickguard. Im looking for a place to find all the parts, hopefully from one place. Stuff like pickups, pots, capacitors, switches, shielding tap.

Try ebay. You can buy fully loaded pickguards there.

more specifically http://www.warmoth.com/pickguards/pickguards.cfm

I found some other sites that have some other material selections but warmoth probably has the best selection for the money - and you can get a matching spring cover if you so desire. I haven't seen anyone else give that option.

HE HAS THE PICKGUARD. He's looking for pickups and wires and junk.

It depends on what pups you want, but try Guitar Parts Resource for starters.

OOPS. I guess I just followed the lead of the other responders .
Try http://www.has-sound.com/parts.htm These guys have very reasonable prices for electronics

Know that for single coils your best pots are 250K, humbuckers 500k, and active pups 25k

another COMPLETE source for just about anything you'll need is http://stewmac.com

You can also get some hot pots and accessories at http://emginc.com their pots and on-board overdrives work with both active and passive pups.

Hey, thanks for all the links. The http://stewmac.com and http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/guitar_index.htm are exellent links. Im happy the Guitar Part Resource has orange drop caps and not crappy ceramic ones. Also stewmac has switches and pots with gold contacts, thats a nice plus. Thanks for the great links!
