Need screws for hipshot detuner

[Bruce Johnson]

Hipshot probably buys the screws from McMasters, and then has them plated along with the rest of the parts. I use Hipshot HB1's on all the basses I build, and they come with......#2 x 3/8" Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws, plated to match the tuners.

They need to use the Flat Head screws on the D-Tuner, because the plate has to slide over top of them.

Right. The flat head is my problem. In the past I've filed down the round heads to fit, but I'm tired of doing that

Hipshot is sending some, and I found some on Fastenere. Looking into the latter as well

A big Thank You to Hipshot! They sent me 9 screws for the detuner.

FWIW, the ones I ordered from Fastenere came, and they are smaller than the Hipshot screws. Both will work, but just saying.

Thanks again Hipshot!

Glad Hipshot took care of you, they're a great company.

McMaster-Carr is a great resource to keep in mind for the future, they have damn near everything and ship faster than Amazon.

M-C didn't have them that small.

Edit: on reflection, I might have only been looking at wood screws, not sheet metal, which I think these are.

I have found with Hipshot that if you have an account where you’ve bought direct from them before, they’ll likely just send you some. They are a customer service focused company, and may just send them even if you aren’t a registered customer.

Which is EXACTLY why I try to buy direct from manufacturers. You're part of the the family now...

Yeah, but a 50 dollar price difference on a detuner?
