Cool sites for guitar info:

Talkin' Tele? The grand old site, TDPRI (Telecaster Discussion Page ReIssue)
They also have sub-boards for Strats, basses, acoustics, amps, pedals, tab...

One of the best on-line sources for vintage info I have found: Antique Vintage Guitars Info

Info on vintage Harmony Guitars: Harmony Guitars Database

Info on vintage (Sears) Silvertone guitars and amplifiers: Silvertone World

Here are a few on-line shopping spots:

One of Chicago's favorites: Rock 'n' Roll Vintage Guitars

People I actually talk to:

For custom pickups of any kind, check with Pete Biltoft at Vintage Vibe Guitars -
he'll even build you a complete custom guitar. I have used and recommended his pups for years, and have them in many of my own guitars - they ARE da bomb!

Speaking of custom guitars, check out Creston Guitars. Cool custom takes on traditional ideas...

James Wagner has done a few repairs and custom hand-rewinds for me.
Now he's hit the bigtime with his "Fillmore" and "Crossroads" sets!
WCR Custom Pickups...

Hey, Happy New Year 2006 - I just got a nice email from Chris Kinman,
sez his new Hx series pups are now compatible with series/phase wiring options!
Check 'em out, there are a lot of pickers who swear by Kinmans for noiseless applications!
Kinman Pickups

Try Noah at guitarvalue.com for parts. He's the guy who helped me with the roller bridges for my Epis.

Other cool companies of whom I am a happy customer:
