SMellmo Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 ok, i am refinishing my Charvel model 1 and i lost a neck screw while the guitar was diassembled.(duh) my local music store does not keep them in stock. I'll go to my local hardware store to try to get one and i would like to know the common size and thread per inch. (so it would be easier to get one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Why don't you try allparts.com or Stewmac??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 stewmac would sock him with a $30 minimum order. I doubt the hardware store will have the right size. The old Fender screws were sheet metal screws. The oldest I have are from an early 80's fender, which look pretty much the same as all the ones you buy from stew-mac etc. I do not know if these more current ones are also sheet metal screws.

Curtis P Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 why dot you take out another screw and try and match it up? Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMellmo Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 allparts have fender replacement screws the size is #8 * 1 3/4" and my screws appear to be "near" #10 size. I say 'near" because it the neck screw seems to be a little bit bigger than the #10 i found at a local bolts/screws store. they told me that they didn't have them in stock but they could order it. The thing is, i really don't think they would order 1 screw...(even 4 if i change all of them. it is probably sold in box of 100 or more. Plus, i didn't tell them that it was a little bit bigger than #10, so maybe the just can't get them anyway. it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Is the missing screw still in your house ? There's been plenty of times where I spent a good 3 hours trying to find something that fell off the bench and rolled, as if the sucker caught a bus and tried to go across town.

SMellmo Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Is the missing screw still in your house ? probably, but the thing is i *might* have accidently threw it in the trash with the newspapes i putted on the floor when i was painting/sanding. i cannot find it anywhere .
