Dopro 30-Pack American #3 x 3/8" Stainless Steel Guitar/Bass Pickguard Screws Back Plate Screws Switch Plate Screws for USA Les Paul/SG/Fly V Chrome

Since these are stainless steel, they aren't going to rust, even when the color/plating wears off.I'm putting together a project guitar and replacing all hardware with nickel-plated pieces as I like the patina nickel picks up over time. Replacing the pickguard screws with these means they will match the bridge. I know there's not a huge difference between chrome and nickel when the parts are new, but over time I expect I'll see a difference. Knowing that these are stainless under the nickel plating means I'm not going to have to worry about rust.I measured several of the screws out of the pack with a set of digital calipers and all the screws I checked were within the measurement range listed in the item description.I strongly suggest measuring your existing screws to make sure these will work for your application.

They look like decent quality but they are about 1/2 as big as necessary for Fender or Gibson pickguards. They're too small to grab the body in pre-existing holes from the factory. Here are a cpl photos of the black Dopro screws next to a Fender® brand nickel pickguard screw for reference:So I'm pretty disappointed - now I have to wait longer for name brand pickguard screws.

I see at least one other reviewer made the same mistake I did: based on the number of screws in the photo, and the fact that they're identified first as pickguard screws in the description, I assumed these were for stratocaster guitars. That's my fault for assuming rather than reading the entire description. These are for Gibson USA guitars and will not fit anything else, including Epiphone Les Pauls.Since I don't own any Gibsons, I can't confirm or deny that they fit on those guitars. The screws themselves seem to be good quality with no thread burs or malformed heads. The finish also looks good. I'm not quite sure why anyone would need 30 screws unless they're a professional luthier, given that a Les Paul has eleven screws (two pickguard screws, three switch cover screws, four backplate screws, and two output jack screws), but if you need them, here they are.
