  • Humbucker Height Adjusting Screws

    Has anyone sourced the Gibson style, 3-48 x 1-1/4" SLOTTED round head height adjusting screws? I've been searching with no luck.

    Slot head screws are evil!

    I actually bought some from somewhere and didn't want them. I only use phillips head. I'm trying to remember where I got them.

      I agree with David.
      Slotted head screws Make as much sense as Potting in Lacquer.

        What's the advantage of a Philips vs. a slothead, really? Better application of torque?

          I know everyone has their own thought with regard to philips-vs-slot head. The idea here is to supply both types with my pickups to give the installer the option to use one or the other.

            Contact Micro-Fasteners
            They were suppose to get some 3-48 x 1" & 1 1/4" in stock last fall (not sure slotted , but phillips)
            I have got some pretty hard to find fasteners from them
            That's not listed on there site

                    Both Mojo and WD Music have the slotted head pole screws.
