Pickup Screws for 2000 Korean Les Paul Custom

[mgrasso]

I need the wisdom of our forum's best on this one.

 

I just bought a 2000 Les Paul Custom off of e-bay and the pickup screws are pretty rough.

 

Would like to replace with gold. Local guitar shops do not have the Asian metric screws.

 

Checked at All Parts and no mention of US vs Metric.

 

Anyone have info on 1. Local stores that carry what might work. 2. Online stores that are accurate.

 

I'm not the trial and error type. Rather do it right the first time.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Go to E-bay where you bought the guitar and type in Epiphone at the top of the page . Enter lowest first as far as price is concerned and chances are you'll find your screws and I bet they're from China.

Do you mean the pickup POLE screws, the pickup HEIGHT adjustment screws or the pickup RING screws? They are different.

Both and in gold.

Both and in gold.

 

The pickup height screws are 2.5mm x 26mm long

 

The pickup ring screws are 3mm x 16mm - very close to a #3 x 1/2" oval head.

 

 

Try eBay.

Thanks. I am currently searching there.

I was just re-reading your LP makeover blog. Might want to replace all of the gold hardware.

I got the LP Custom for what I think was a great - $295.

Two small gouges that don't break the finish.

I will post a HNGD when I take photos.

When looking for replacements, do I need to specify or look for a specific tailpiece or bridge since it is Korean?
