Where to buy screws used for truss rod covers?
Dear ESP,
I have been researching this topic for a while and cannot find these specific screws that are used for ESP guitars on truss rod cover and back cavity...
I tried searching on these sites that are mentioned in the FAQ :
1. www.stewmac.com
2. www.wdmusic.com
3. www.allparts.com
...or even on ebay, amazon, etc... but you can always find the Fender type screws or the Gibson type screws, you can never find the Japanese standard that are used on for example ESP custom shop instruments.
I measured the screw size:
head: 5mm
length: 10mm
diameter : 2.5mm
Can you please let me know where can I buy these screws for my Custom Shop Alexi Sawtooth?
I am missing some screws...
Thanks
We typically recommend that you check your local hardware store, specifically one that will allow you to special order if it is not on hand. This website supplies similar sized screws, but the coloring is off as it is not from a musical hardware supplier.
