This is the third time this twat has listed a single grub screw for the bargain price of over £10 posted.


You'd think he'd get the message. What is the matter with these morons?!

By the way, I keep coming across it because I'm searching 'Les Paul Junior', I'm not scouring the internet for a grub screw, honest!

    Oh you don't know? Because it's genuine Gibson of course! It has a serial number and comes with a CoA. The serial numbers are microscopic so they don't show up in photos but it can mean that the screws sold individually attract a premium of around 15 times their actual value, due to the fact that they're genuine parts, not just a random grub screw from say your local Homebase store or a website like All Parts. 

    Gosh. The man has integrity! Let him sell. ;)

    It doesn't seem quite so expensive when you actually have to replace one because someone has lost it or chewed up the head, and you find just how difficult it is to get that thread size in the UK.

    And no, an Epiphone one is not the same.

    OK, it's too much. But not *that* much too much.

    Same happened with my Carvin Nomad and although I've got loads of grub screws in the spares box none of them would fit. So I had to go for a new knob!
