Also, go for the stainless steel ones or brass instead of the regular ones, because the metal is stronger. But honestly, the big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot suck for screws and bolts for instruments. You'll have to look in all the drawers and little baggies very carefully because nobody buys screws and bolts that skinny, so the stores carry very little stock, if at all. Good luck with the hunt. -Chuck   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Saturday, October 06, 2007 - 1:15 am:    isnt this screw etc, in metric?? ok ill keep lookin , jazzzz   Bambusa Username: Bambusa Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 8:22 am:    I had the same problem when I got a super70 for my Musician. I went to my local guitar repair shop with one from the other super 70 and they had a bag full..maybe you should try the same thing?   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 5:11 pm:    There are USA humbucker adjustment screws and there are JAPAN humbucker adjustment screws. Many Dutch shops order them here: http://www.voxhumanawebstore.nl/webstore/index.php ?cPath=302_309&sort=2a Mostly in service parts boxes...

There is a station right in the aisle where you can measure the thread of your screw. You can then walk two feet to the rack and find the little $1.00 bag of the screws you need. It ain't rocket science.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 7:42 pm:    I'm not saying it's hard to figure what you need, just good luck finding it at one of those stores because they do not restock the obscure sizes. It's nearly impossible, for example, to find #2 size screws for pickguards, etc.   Guitarwhisperer Username: Guitarwhisperer Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 8:39 pm:    Lowe's and Home Depot really do suck for these types of screws, at least the ones near my house do. And even if they do have it, it's either brass, which just sucks, or zinc, which sucks AND tarnishes, and is ugly. They have a limited supply of stainless steel screw, and NO gold or black ones. Obviously though, they don't stock guitar specialty screws, which are also cosmetic as well as structural. I hate it when someone brings me a guitar with zinc or brass screws. It just looks tacky and unprofessional. If I put a screw from Lowes or Home Depot on a customer's guitar, they wouldn't be very happy with me. I have a stash of screws for american humbuckers that I got from AllParts, as I'm an allparts dealer. The foreign ones are a little bit bigger.
