    6/32 is 4.76 mm so an alternative could be tapping them for 5mm

    Depends on how picky you want to be for originality

    For the screws or the saddles? Screws are $4.50 for a set of 8. Saddles (Although not quite the same) are $25 for a set of 4. I am fairly sure we have the right ones now, but if not i will go to a local nut and bolt place and see what I can find to suit.

    Yeah, he is pretty keen on keeping it original.. which is funny because he's put an after market pick-guard on it :/ But yeah, that's certainly an option if we can't sort it. He's been paying $90 a go to have it re-strung so not really across how much can be done yourself......

    Thanks for the input everyone - I will let you know how we go.
