Hi all. Maybe I've missed something here, but I can't seem to find where to buy a few of specific replacement parts.

Last week, I bought a used 2006 Stratocaster American Deluxe FMT from Guitar Center. They shipped it to me, and, once I inspected it, I noticed a few things I'd like to remedy:

1. Missing one of the three pickup height adjustment screws on the bridge humbucker. I managed to find a suitable nickel adjustment screw on stewmac.com. It was way too long, so I had to cut it down to fit. Works well, but if I had a genuine Fender part I'd prefer it.

2. The black pickup mounting ring screws show a tiny bit of corrosion, nothing bad, but I'd like to put some fresh ones on there. Again, found some on stewmac, but the heads are a little smaller than the originals ... would love to find some originals.

3. The (humbucker) pickup mounting ring itself is starting to crack around the mounting screw holes (I think the previous owner tightened 'em down a little too much). This is a black, 3-screw adjustment ring. All aftermarket rings I've found so far only have two adjustment holes. Again, I'd love to put a genuine replacement on there.

Am I just relegated to scouring ebay/craigslist/forums for parts? Do you think these things can be ordered from Fender?

Thanks for your help and apologies for the lengthy first post.

Look up your guitar and find the part numbers you want.

Then go to a Fender repairer dealer and order them.
Or if they are too far away find someone that delivers.

Try Guitar Center or any guitar shop for that matter. Also there are many places online where you can find genuine Fender parts. These are just a few:

Ah yes, thank you. I had forgotten that I'd already downloaded the parts list. Didn't know if I could order right from Fender or if I had to find an authorized repair guy/shop. Kinda hoping I could just find 'em online though ... more convenient you know.

Thanks for the URLs too; it's always nice to have more resources at hand. I still haven't seen the specific parts I'm looking for, but I'm sure I'll find them one way or another.

I get a lot of my genuine Fender stuff here :
