Hi All, i have an issue with one of the direct mount pickup screws for my 7 string multi scale. It seems that all 3 screws go in fine but one just won't screw all the way down, even with a pilot hole. Not sure why, a knot in the wood maybe?? In any case, in trying to get the screw back out i've stripped the head of the screw :( Will need to use some thin nose pliers to remove now, but my question is where do i find replacement screws?
There isn't anything on Pitbull's shop that i can see and everything i see online is a different type of screw...

The kit screws are not always the best! I believe that some members on this forum do not use the kit ones and just use better quality ones.
It should not matter if they are not the same, replace them all with ones that work.
Real tone music sell some at https://www.realparts.com.au/screws-and-springs.html. I assume they should be good quality.
Or
Australian Luthier supplies at https://luthiersupplies.com.au/guita...-pickup-screws
I have purchased a "226pcs Guitar Screws Kit" off Ebay for my school guitar projects - as we get quite a lot of "lost" screws. They are not great quality but have gotten me through.

Thanks Trevor, appreciate the links and will check these out. As long as they fit and are black i'm all good. I'm going to replace them all as you have suggested so they are all the same. I'm always worried i'm going to go through the body as i usually don't do direct mounts, but fingers crossed :-)
