Longer Intonation Screws

mesatele

I have a telecaster fitted with a six saddle hardtail Gotoh bridge. When I get the intonation right, the screw is just one turn into the saddle. I am concerned it might let go on me. Does anyone know where I might get longer screws from?

Had the same problem last year. Bought some slightly longer M3 screws from B&Q. They're only a few pence so you can afford to try them and see whether the threads on your saddles are also M3

I had a quick look in B&Q but didn't spot anything. I'll go back and look again.

I had to do this a while ago and got some, but I needed an imperial thread as the saddles were American Standard size. I can measure them if you like, but I'm not sure the threads will work with your saddles
