Musiclily Ultra 2.5x9mm Stainless Steel Truss Rod Cover Mounting Screws Pan Head for USA LP Style Electric Guitar (Set of 10)

Needed one screw for one missing on the back plate so bought these and ended up replacing all 10 screws. Eight for the border of the pick guard and 2 for the back plate. Exact fit and exactly the correct number of screws for that. Old ones were very worn so these give it a nicer new gold look.

Cutting to the chase, these are screws... black screws. They are probably not the exact size/pitch that would go on a vintage US made guitar being that these are metric screws, but they are sized appropriately and hold well. In short, they work.In addition to working well, they can really refresh the look of a guitar with corroded or stripped fasteners... the little details that make a guitar go from looking decent to great.Now with that said, the price isn't too impressive. Yes, they're stainless, or so it's claimed, but still... almost $9 for 10 2.5mm screws. That's bordering on the point at which I feel it might be a too much. In the end though, it's less than $9... not $900. Just seems a tad steep and I wish I could deduct 1/2 a star for it. Other than that, these seem to be good to go.

I got these to replace worn, often corroded, truss rod cover screws on electric guitars. Two things I really liked about these from Musiclily: the black oxide coating was uniform on all 10 screws, AND they weren't covered with anything sticky or oily that I had to clean off before installing.In the past I would usually try to refurbish original screws, but it's a messy, time-intensive process, and the results can vary depending on how bad the screws are and the type of materials they're made of. The price for these may seem a tad high at just under $1 each, but they're specialty screws and not easy to find. When you do it's usually in bulk, and although it may be cheaper per screw you're also buying a lot more than you'll likely ever need (unless you're a luthier). All things considered, unless it's a bespoke, vintage instrument it's usually more cost effective to just buy replacements in the quantity you need.
