Where to buy parts? (Besides Allparts)

[BigShred]

Can y'all make some recommendations for where to buy parts? Allparts is good but since they're in TX I pay sales tax and even though they're driving distance from me they refuse to let me pick up any orders and insist that it be shipped for $7.00.

So can anyone make some suggestions? Thanks!

Warmoth (http://www.warmoth.com/)
Stewart-MacDonald (www.stewmac.com)
Ibanez Rules (www.ibanezrules.com)
WD Music (http://www.wdmusic.com/)

Just a sampling. Good luck.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I've personally used Warmoth and Stew-Mac (and Rich, of course ), so I guess you can count that as a "recommendation" for both of those resources. Never personally used WD Music, but I've heard good things about them.

niko, thanks a lot for the link. Since you're a vendor I hope you'll heed my advice:

The one thing I have noticed in common when people complain about vendors is A) Poor or slow communication and B) Items not being shipped in a timely fashion.

I think if you pay careful attention to these two points you'll pretty much have everyone beat.

Thanks for the advice, I have found the same problems myself when ordering from the "big guys", that's why we started our company!

I would personally ALWAYS go with one of our vendors if at all possible

My God, dude, I ordered from these guys and the service and speed of delivery have been PHENOMENAL! The communication is fantastic as well. Everyone on the forum knows that I am a real loud complainer when things go wrong, so the fact that I'm raving about these guys should say a lot about them.

PLEEEEEEEASE KEEP IT UP!!!

out of curiosity: What is the difference (if any) between the FRO-TS-6B Original Floyd Rose Tremolo in black on the www.guitarpartsdepot.com webiste, and the FRB Oringinal Floyd Rose's on the Warmoth site?

The only difference is that our's is $1 cheaper and you get free shipping.
Warmoth will charge you about $13 for shipping on top of the price.
