Thunderbird Club

This right here. This is why this club is so cool. There are people I this small population who understand what makes sense, and why a forum is such a good venue for learning more about what one loves.

Ok, just had a little fit there. Carry on...
I find exactly this at this time of day too, I've had a great conversation this morning, not one single argument :roflmao:

Seriously.... Yes
 
This is terrible! I'm shocked

I'm sure one of the more luthier-esque of this lot will be able to tell me why it is so hard to find small screws, in this case humbucker mounting ring screws (#2 x 9/16" phillips head) and pickguard screws (#3 x 3/8" ).
Yes, I know, order them online... I did. But are they that hard to find locally for anyone else? Home Depot & Lowes don't even come close. Smaller, local, mom & pop type hardware stores all had something close but not quite, either too long/ too short, slotted vs. phillips, right length/ wrong diameter, etc. (go ahead... get all the ahems out of your system, I'll wait... :roflmao:)
Are these just older, unpopular sizes? Just curious if anyone knows :)
 
Completely reasonable for a lot of reasons.

Ok, that seems a little creepy...

Lol, j/k!

Actually i almost never look at the drummer either, not when the groove is good.

Cherie & I trade looks the whole night - she's a seasoned performer and as the lead singer (playing rhythm guitar) and leader of her band she knows how to present herself on stage. I occasionally play in a power trio and keep an eye on the lead guitarist/lead singer in a similar fashion. People like seeing a band that engages/interacts with each other.

They are so difficult to get, if you can get the size the have the wrong head, if you want chrome they are in brass, I've given up with them I just order a load every now and then from a luthier supplies place in Spain of all places

They just aren't sizes that sell enough to make it worthwhile to stock. I have found some stainless pickguard screws at Lowes, but I've had to order in most of that type of hardware.
 
Ah...

Well. This would be irregular most other places. At least it's not another car rant. Unless it's about Rabbits... I might be missing something in that case.

Sometimes things are just worth repeating!

If a screw is what you're looking for, try Guitar Center. :D
