Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What type of screwdriver do I need for these screws?

A: Yes, these #4 screws are the standard size used for most Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster pickguards, as well as many other guitar control plates.

Q: Can I use these for other parts of my guitar, like mounting pickups directly to the body?
