Order online from a company called axes'r'us.
They are a guitar spares company run by a couple in Hull. They have always delivered the next day and provided good components etc.

I bought my orange drop caps and CTS pots from them, along with some other stuff, big and small ...

Thanks. Just ordered 2 0.022 and 2 0.047. So I will be able to experiment and see what works best. Might end up putting one set in the Epi and the other in the Gibby?

I always buy from axesrus if I can.  I think that being British, we should support the type of company that runs out a shed.  Great things have done in British sheds.

Axes'r'us are who I use for a lot of things like caps, locking nut blocks etc.  Just bought some ( non-BKP  :oops: ) pickups from them at a very good price too.

I also use WD Music for pots and wire as they stock the higher tolerance CTS pots I like, plus switchcraft jacks etc.

I got some Allparts US-fit witch hats on eBay, don't know if they're any different from the ones Axes'r'us stock.

I just looked on Axes'r'us, they are indeed different - the Allparts ones have "VOL." (not "VOLUME") on the top, in proper vintage stylee.  One of these days I'll finally get my white V fixed up and fit the buggers.
