soulstar89 Posted January 11, 2024 Posted January 11, 2024 Happy new year. I have a mij Yamaha pulser pbass and I lost a pickguard screw and need to replace a pickup mount screw. I notice they are different to fender and western style. I’ve looked on all parts websites and so many options. I’m no diy person so apologies the noob question. is there a specific screw the Asian builders use? I noticed all screws have codes. cheers Quote
Downunderwonder Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 Possibly. You could take another out and get an engineers supply store to tell you what it is. Probably M for metric for starters in a pickup mount screw. A big one might even have one in a bin for you. The pickguard wouldn't be all that fussy so long as the head matches. 1 1 Quote

John Cribbin Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 As it's Japanese, there's a good chance they've used JIS screws. 1 Quote
Downunderwonder Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 If your DIY stores are like ours you will be lucky to find anyone with any skills in knowing what screw is what. They will have a selection of wood screws in packets of 10 and jars of 100, nut and bolt sets, nothing resembling a pickup mount screw.... 1 Quote

That is exactly what happened. the Pickup mounting screws are completely different. They have a flat head but the lip is thick. I've not found it anywhere. I have a fender mounting screw in atm and it's too long. everything is online for these things now. None of my local music stores have things like this. Quote
