Hi, all,
I adjusted the truss rod on my rg560, and when I reached into my magnetic screw cup to replace the truss rod cover screws, one of them was missing. Does anyone have an extra screw like this? I would gladly PayPal you a buck or two if you could send me one. Or if you have a source that isn't going to charge me $10 to ship one screw (*cough*StewMac*cough*), I'd love to hear about it.
Side note: I live in Tacoma, not far from Tacoma Screw. I tried them even though I had bad luck finding screws for a Fender trem there ("Musical instrument screws are a specialty item." "So I should try ... a screw store?"). I showed the guy one of the screws and told him it was metric. He looked at it and said, "Well, what I have wouldn't be. And it would be slotted, not phillips. And it would be bright brass, not black." So please don't recommend Tacoma Screw.
Thanks!

It's a metric thread machine screw?
Not a wood screw that runs through the plastic plate into the wood?

Take a super-close-up pic of the screw laying sideways next to a mm measurin' stick and post it here. I'll see if I have what you need.

If Peegoo doesn’t have it, I might. I have lots of screws.
All of them loose.

Jeezo Chrysler, that Ibanez guy put a heavy chain against a buffing wheel? That's like wearing a tie when doing lathe work.
Yikes.

I've dealt with him in the past, he seems like a reasonable guy maybe you should email him.

Could always bookmark it at Ibanez Rules and wait until you need something else down the line. I'm thinking the guitar will play okay in the meantime.

I know, right?
P. S.
Black felt strap button washers sound better.

White felt washers when there's white/ivory/cream binding on the body.
Everything else--black felt matters.

I generally look at the binding, as well. The worst is when I get a customer that wants to take 10 minutes to discuss their options...
