ADD -- blessing and curse
I have a Telecaster at home that is missing a saddle screw. Does anyone know what size saddle screws are on a telecaster? I checked around on the web, and found full bridge assemblies, but I don't need the whole assembly, just one screw.
 
3/4" drywall screw oughta do it.


Actually, i saw a guy who built an entire tele from scratch and he used just regular brass screws that looked like they came from a wall outlet. He cut the head off and slotted it.
 
I take shit to the home depot all the time and test fit screws until I find the right one. Just push the threaded end through the plastic and screw it into your saddle. It should just be some standard thread.

They have a bag of 100 pickguard screws for like $.89 but they are zinc plated and look like shit. :D
 
Do you mean the saddle screws or the bridge plate screws?

There are quite a few different sizes depending on age and model. I would drop by TDPRI home department and ask there if it's the saddle screws you need to get them exactly right.

Just take another one out, and head to the hardware store. Alternative: email Fender, and they'll probably mail you a few to make you go away.
