I know they're not cigar boxes, but the large rectangular biscuit tins around at xmas make a great body, almost a built in resonator.   Just need to find a neck , ah well off to find a skip!

When I needed some switches I found the easiest and cheapest place seemed to be eBay. Of course it means getting them from China in most cases so there is a bit of a delay, but that seemed to be the solution. I don't know about RS. Have you looked in their catalogue? I also found these through a Google search:

Hope you find what you are looking for.

All the best.

john, some time ago you suggested Touchstone Tonewoods as a source for fretwire. i ordered 5 mts and when that was gone i ordered some more. This time they sent the wire,but also 2 pieces or cedar 1/8" thick  x 12" x 9" ,they look like offcuts, i ain't complaining but d'you think they might have Googled me to see what i'm doing . i got my mrs to google me and some photos and activity on the nation is there...??

Anyone have any suppliers for scratchplate material...I've found some at around £12 for a 315x240mm piece,incl postage, but can't find any more,so don't know if this is a fair price.

Also are there any alternatives, as I much prefer reusing than using new.
