ebay is also good for the pots, switch and jack, i bought mojotone custom 500k cts pots for mine via ebay, they were only ~$5 each. and ebay has some super sweet vintage capacitors too! it's pretty fun !
I have a left handed gibson LPJ http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPJC2CH-13
They used a circuitboard for the wiring so the pickups plug in. So I would have to have a pro do it. I never did one before, it would be a total rewire. The local guys don't seem too expensive to do it.
