During this project I obviously blew a load of money in various establishments:The Guitar Kit came from DIY Guitar Kits and very good it was too.
Paint, Undercoat and Lacquer came from Halfords. This was OK, and easy to use.
If you want to do it properly, the only person I've found to sell nitro in cans is the Manchester Guitar Academy. He also has some helpful advice if you are doing a kit on his site - well worth a read.
Copper tape, which was used for the shielding within the control cavity came from XXXX, although is available from lots of places including Axerus and Axetec.
Replacement Jack plate, black pickup covers, skull knobs, various screws, aluminium foil (used to shield the scratch plate) and all sorts of other stuff came from Axerus who deliver quick and are nice as well. I also had a scratchplate off them that I misordered, which wasn't their fault.
I got the bone nut (perfectly cut) and some other bits from Axetec. As with Axerus, service was excellent and they are well recomended.
The DIY waterslide decal paper came from ebay, just search for 'Waterslide ink jet decal paper' but there are plenty of options, just watch out whether you need a fixing spray or not.
The dodgy workmate came from Argos, although it may have been better and less wobbly if I had put it together properly, so I can't really blame them for that.
Various bits of wood, sandpaper, Ronseal varnish for the neck and I can't remember what else came from Homebase - oh yes, blades for the jigsaw. There was probably more than that, as it seemed like I lived there for a few days, but I can't remember right now.
Dr Stringfellow's Lemon Oil and Guitar Polish weren't overly brilliant, so just look for them on eBay, but there are plenty of alternatives.
And that is about it.
Oh, and you can buy my books on Amazon.co.uk, 'God's Game' has got guitars in and Robert Johnson and Leo Fender gets a mention too, you'd like that. I also have a blog: adayinthelifeoferikryman.blogspot.com which is probably out of date, but crafted with love.
