I just recently purchased an American Deluxe SSS with the S1 switch. Awesome guitar, plays great, love the "V" neck, fits in my hands perfectly. Anyways, I was recently getting some fret buzz because it is a new instrument, and it's been adjusting to the climate of my house and what not.... Anyways, I went to adjust the saddles, and to my dismay some of the screws don't fit the Hex key I got with it because they've been damaged (stripped). Do you know anywhere I can purchase new screws for it, because I'd hate to have to get a new saddles. Also, can you recommend any other ways to adjust action, or lessen the fret buzz. Thank you.

They're probably american thread 4-40 or 2-56 setscrews. You can get them at any local industrial/fastener supplier or a well stocked hardware store. Look up 'Machine Shop' in the local book. They are always helpful.

Of course, a music store with a good repair dept will have them.

Hey that's a nice parts site, I added it to my favorites. I build guitars, loads of fun so far. Not even done with my first one though! Still loads of fun, thanks. :D
