I have seen them advertised on eBay. They are a little bit specialized. Chrome, with that head, and that screw thread and length. I.m sure that I have also seen them on different guitar parts stores online. I don't have the stores names, but if you worked the internet a bit, you would find 'em.

i'm not too great with screws but i used 4x 3/8 flat socket head wood screws from a hardware store and they worked great.


EDIT: my bad. read too quickly those are for pickguard screws. :shock:

the bridge screws are special. not sure if you'd be able to get them at a hardware store.

Probably find them online, or a guitar store should be able to sell you some.

All I can see is the "G" (I think it's the "G") is a type #3 thread and 3/8" long. The "F" is a #4 thread and 1/2 " in length. If you don't have at least one original screw from your project to measure, you would do well to order each "type". The extras will come in handy someday. I am glad that you asked about Fender screws because I need a bridge saddle screw for my vintage bridge saddle. Good deal!
