I need to find some of the small screws that adjust the "hight" on the bridge saddles. Any ideas where to look?

Thanks!

Guitar Parts Resource has them.

If you check the model service diagram at Fender it should tell you which type to get.

In San Fran there's gotta be an Ace Hardware.... they have a great selection of Stainless steel screws... cost about 10 cents each....

I can't usually find these small screws at hardware stores but I'll check it out again. That would be allot easer.

Well I found some at my Hardware store that are really close but my strat is a Japanese "Fernandes" so I guess I'm going to need a metric size?

Any ideas were to find screws that will fit a Fernandes?

Thanks again!

Hey Johnny, anyone carrying screws today will have both...SAE and Metric...get up and go to the hardware store,.. or if you prefer you can order 'em from McMaster-Carr

that's why it's to your advantage to go to the hardware store.... they have guys that can get you what ya need.... even Home Depot's and Lowe's have a pretty good selection.

Yeah. The Hardware is more likely to have the M3 that may use, than the 4-40 that Callaham and FMIC AVs and CSs use.

I am finding just within the last few years, fewer and fewer of the genuine hardware stores have a full selection of stuff, especially Imperial.
