What size should I look for (so I don't have to bring the guitar into the hardware store) ? thanks all, jon_jackson Member Username: jon_jackson Post Number: 64 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 2:59 pm:    Current size is 2-56 (NC) x 3/8". Not sure if they have changed sizes over the years. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7220 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011 - 11:57 am:    Do you have threaded inserts or not? elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1185 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011 - 12:26 pm:    Yes I have the brass threaded inserts, they look the same as the inserts on my '82 exploiter (which also has some lost screws). Thanks Jon and Mica,
