    It would help if you specified size, thread and length.

      Joe, I don't have any samples so I have no numbers. Guess I'll have to take a mini baseplate with me to the hardware store and go by trial and error. I figured it would be like asking about regular humbucker height screws, somebody would know where to get them without having to ask for specs because humbucker height screws are pretty much universal.

        Don't they use the same size screws as the regular humbuckers?
        It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. — Albert Einstein

          The hardware store may or may not have sample screws of the correct thread. For instance, 4-48 is rare in hardware stores.

          I would suggest the purchase of a thread pitch gage. For instance:

          MSC #86419660 (inch): http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...22680&PMT4NO=0

          MSC #86405917 (metric): http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...22111&PMT4NO=0

          This plus a micrometer or caliper will allow one to identify any thread.

            No, they're thicker.
