Longshot...need thumbscrew for a Wilkinson VSVG

[paul144]

that intonation thumbscrew that goes in the hole in the back of each saddle?... Anyone know where I can find one?

[Thundernotes]

Got pictures of another one - installed and by itself?

[paul144]

I just found this on stewmac.com. I emailed them to see if they sell only the screw, but they're closed for the weekend..

I bet you could find a thumbscrew with the same thread pitch at a local hardware store.

Look in the case?

[paul144]

nope, not in there.

[hardheartedbill]

you can do it by hand, you have to loosen the string a little , loosen the set screw and push, I've had 6 guitars w/ wilkies and have never used that thing

Ditto what Bill said above here.

[paul144]

ok, thats easy enough. Thanks everyone.

Take a saddle off and go to a hardware store. Go through the socket-head cap screw drawers until you find one that fits - it'll be SAE, not metric. I wanna say 8-32, might be 6-32. Get one that's 1.25 - 1.50 inches long, there you go.

That's all they are, a cap screw with a knurled plastic knob on the end. You can get by without the knob.
