Can anyone help out there?

I can’t find the thread size for the height adjustment screws for the vintage style threaded saddles found on vintage USA and on Japanese Jaguar basses. 

Alternatively if anyone knows where to get them then that would be even better.....

That means that this is a thread about the thread on threaded saddles.

Thanks

Wouldn't the Japanese ones be metric thread?  Which model have you got - is it USA or Japanese and do you know what year?

  Also, do you know for sure it's the original bridge.

It’s a 2006 MIJ model. I’m pretty sure it’s the original bridge.

I’ve ordered the all parts ones now as I figured it may be the pitch. If not, then that’s 2 lots of incorrect saddle screws. If I buy any more, I may as well have upgraded it coz it’s rubbish anyway!!

MIJ will be metric sizes, so my guess is M3 x 10mm

Chrome or black?

I've got some I can pop in the post to you (they are closer to 12mm long but out of a Squier bridge) FOC

They are allen-key rather than slotted heads but will do the job....

Drop me a PM and I can get them into the morning's post

So I have a CIJ 60s reissue precision. It has threaded saddles as per the US ones, not the plain ones with a groove. I cant remember if  the bridge is original or if I changed it.

I bought some 6-32 unc which go in about a thread before they seize and when  I bought some m3 they are too small. Any ideas?
