Question about Fender mounting hardware
Posted on 12/9/19 at 7:04 am

I'm a bassist, but was gifted a Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe (Reissue).
The guitar itself is in decent shape, but all of the mounting screws are rusted, including the screws in the center of the pickups.
I can find pickguard screws, but I'm having a hard time finding the pickup screws. Anyone know where I could find these or, if they're a standard size, what size they are?

The threads may not match up, but these are the most common threads for pickup polepiece screws.
Polepiece screws at StewMac.com
Before you order, however, unscrew the rusty screws counterclockwise until the heads are protruding from the pickup cap. Then try to clean them with Maas metal polish. It can be bought in a litttle silver tube the size of a toothpaste tube and it's very affordable. That much will last you forever.
Apply a dab of Maas and agitate with a Q-tip, gently scrub off with a washcloth. If the rust or discoloration is only on the surface, Maas will typically take it off.

Much appreciated. I'll start with the Maas and go from there.
