Guitar Saddle Height Adjustment Screws.
Very Low 6mm Metric Set
Rust resistant stainless steel. NEW.
The same high grade UK sourced screws used in the bridges of our HiGuitarsUK instruments
(Stainless screws are also the choice of today's best known manufacturer of bridge upgrades!)

These can be used to replace 10mm or 8mm screws when their height hinders playability.

6mm screws are most suited to cast bridge saddles. When fitted to most bent steel saddles the height of the saddle bottom is about 1mm above the bridge plate when screws are flush at the saddle top.

Supplied as a set of 12 screws plus 1 spare.

Although 10mm is the factory screw length for the majority of strat style bridges, variation is possible. So it is advisable to start by measuring the existing screws before ordering in order to work out what is needed and choose the right set.


Will these metric screws fit?

*These are unlikely to fit USA made instruments, except where a non-USA branded bridge has been used in manufacture*

Most strat style instruments made outside of the USA (including many Mexican Strat's) have metric screws. Exceptions include Mexican Strat's fitted with USA made Classic 70s Bridges or American Vintage Series bridges, which have imperial/USA screws. Most new Mexican strats seem to use standard imperial/USA screws.

Early indications are the new MIM Player Series Strats may use uncommon fine threaded (UNF) USA screws, as used on US Standard Strat's from 2008 onwards.

Metric screws have a less course thread than most USA screws and have a very slightly larger diameter. Accurate measurement of the total length of a screw is often the best way to tell the thread type, if a direct comparison is not possible:

Metric screws should measure a number of whole millimetres in length - Typically 10mm, while USA screws will typically measure 9.5mm.
Differences are more difficult to spot between shorter metric 8mm and USA 5/16"(7.9mm) screws.
