I have a Yamaha Weddington Custom that is missing one intonation screw. I have looked at StewMac and Allparts but don't see any that match. The only bridge that looks similar is the Gotoh 510 and I don't see replacement screw for it. The screws are Phillips head and there appears to be a ring nut. Any suggestions on where to find a replacement?

I tried looking it up to see if there was anything special about the bridge, but none of the pictures were very good.
If there isn't anything special and the Gotoh will just drop on, I'd just get one and move on with life. There is a chance it would be an upgrade, too. It looks like this guitar might have been a bit too nice to be using Sung-Il hardware, but if they did, then it would definitely be an upgrade (Ibanez and Epiphone use Sung-Il a lot). For not a lot of money you can save yourself the hassle.
If you had to get a screw for the existing bridge, I'd take another one out and figure out the threads. Hardware stores have those thread checkers in the areas with the bulk bins for random parts. That'll assist in your internet adventures.

If you have a music shop that does repairs for the local hotshot guitar players, chances are very good the tech has a container of orphan bridges and bridge parts, and a screw that will work.
This is a fantastic resource for single parts for bridges, tuners, etc., because many of these hardware bits are proprietary for the part itself. Take the guitar, along with a box of fresh bakery cookies or a dozen donuts as a peace offering, and the tech will probably fix you right up.

I has a similar situation once. I visited a clock repair shop that previously did some work on my 1850's German wall clock. He had exactly what I needed in his extensive collection of bits and pieces.

There's a repair shop down towards Houston that I'll probably end up taking it to. I'll let them do a full setup to fix all of my amateur errors I've made over the years. Hopefully they will have a screw.

Hopefully they will have a screw. If you're paying them to do some work you're more likely to get their time in tracking down a screw. A walk in that wants a cheap used screw that could take half an hour of their time will receive less love. This is a good approach. |
