You guys seem to always be sourcing parts

Maybe someone can point me to a source for an M4 X .75 mm machine screw, about 35 mm in length. The closest a Google search got was a couple metric taps, but no screws It is, of course, from a 60's Japanese guitar.
Sure, I could tap the dang thing and hog whatever was close into the holes, but that just seems.....wrong. Plus, I'll probably want a few spare weirdo bolts for any future needs.
I've always believed that if you build a man a fire, you'll warm him the rest of the day. If you set a man on fire, you'll warm him the rest of his life!

Try the bolt depot. They have a good variety.

nope, already been to those places. I ended up tapping it out to an M4 X .7 which threaded in a little ways before seizing up. Think of .75 pitch as a doubled 1.5mm thread. It would be nice, though, to find a source for those oddballs. Seems like a lot of the Jap guitars from the 60's have weirdo obsolete metric sizes.

There is a vendor named Small Parts on Amazon. Give them a whirl

M4x0.7 is the standard size. Are you sure about the 0.75? In any event, if the female thread is in a piece of sheet metal, M4x0.7 is likely close enough.
