scooterguitar Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Going to direct mount a hum and single, problem is I can't find any screws with a little neough diameter! Maybe a #2, if there is such a thing? I have searched these forums, but with only tidbits and theory behind it, anyone more used way than another?

thegarehanman Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 How about checking out a guitar parts supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterguitar Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks, i did, but would think I could find them at a hardware store, but haven;t been able to yet... If all else fails, looks liek I will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Just remember that if you find screws at the hardware store(that work), you'll probably need to buy some rubber hose to use as a spacer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could visit your friendly neighborhood guitar shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 American one's (SD's and Dimarzio) use #4-40 screws - near impossible to find in the UK outside of Allparts and as i have around a dozen Hamer's that have surface mounted pickups i have looked ! As for metric one's (far and not so far east imports) i have a strange feeling they're M2.5 or M3 standard machine thread but i'm not totally sure.
