hi folks,
i'm in the need of those little saddle screw to adjust the height of them. some of them are worn out. i asked myself if there are any out there who will also fit in there? i bought a hex tool which is normally for vintage fender guitars so i asked myself maybe also those fender screws would fit? any help is welcomed...
also i'm looking for a replacement brass nut for my bean. anybody selling one?
THANKS!

Hello
Height screws.. which they lovingly called them 'mouse turds' is a socket set screw.
4-40 x 3/8
You can buy some at BoltDepot.com

I would probably try to find blank/flat brass nut stock vs. buying anything pre-made. Look for flat bottom, but looking closely at the last link I sent you, I see the nut is set for radius. I would try to get something blank to start (no radius) and have a luthier set it up for you. I might even talk with a local luthier first (I would still contact Kevin for his advice on the subject as well).

I would also hold on to your old nut as well.

i would love to stick with the old nut if not the curves would be a bit deep because the preowner used heavy gauge strings. now i am using 42-9 and get some buzz. i thought about putting something thin underneath the original nut to compensate the height. well we'll see. most important are those height screws at the moment.
big thank you mr. admin!

I think if you talk with a luthier you'll have a few options. Shimming the nut is always an option to get the string height up at the nut.
Thanks!
