Hi,

My wife bought a new pickguard for my Tele, so I thought I'd try swapping them. All was going well until I dropped one of the neck pickup height adjustment screws.

The pickup is attached to the pickguard, and the screws are shorter and thinner than the Stew-Mac single coil pickup height adjustment screws.

I have searched all over the web but cannot find any place that specifically mentions these screws. If I am reading the specsheet correctly,iIt is Fender part # 0021409000 "Pickup, neck mounting screw".

Any idea where I can order these specific replacement screws? I've tried stewmac, warmoth, wd, ebay, etc. No luck.

If you have a Lowes or a good neighborhood hardware store, take your remaining screw in and find a mate. If you go to Lowes look for the specialty screws in the pull-out drawers below the hanging screw packs. If you have a big magnet go where you dropped the screw and find it. Magnets out of old speakers are good for this type of use.

Thanks - I went to Ace Hardware and found that they are Phillips head, 4-40 thread, 5/8" in length. 15 cents each.

.... and now, back to playing the Tele :D

Speaking of this, is there a list of the vintage spec screws used on telecasters and there sizes somewhere?
