I still have to repaint the body (mate white) and make a pickguard (glue some material over an actual pickguard)
I wanted to make sure it intonated correctly before proceeding

I will post pictures for sure!

short after writing my response the new screws arrived!

They are #6-32 and 1-1/2 inch long and they seem to work: in a rough test the guitar seems to intonate fine. Yeeeha!

I'll confirm and tell for sure in the next days

What I did was buy three Wiliknson Tele compensated brass saddles, then bought longer M3 screws......not the cheapest solution, but you get nice brass saddles too!...... Thank you, good to know Wilkinsons use metric screws. If I can't solve it in some other way that could be a solution. But I'd lik...

Thanks Nick!

Any time you're using non adjustable saddles you probably won't achieve 100% perfect intonation unless you start experimenting with custom string sets. Even on a standard scale instrument, the individual string gauges in a set of 9s will have different properties to a set of 11's. Yes, I guess... I...

Thank you, but first I need to know about specs of original screws!

Amazing resource btw, thanks a lot

Hi, I'd like to know from someone who knows the topic in depth if compensated saddles for standard scale can be used in short scale guitars with success. Say compensated saddles for Telecaster used on a Squier Duo Sonic, which has a 24'' scale. I ask because in fact I use compensated saddles for Tel...

looks sweet. always wondered if this would work to be honest first lets figure out where you are. are you in Spain currently? im more than willing to help but mailing 3 screws 8000 miles across an ocean might be cost prohibitive I thought my location was visible at left. Yes, I'm in Spain. They can...

69 Thinline Tele body + Duo Sonic neck in need for longer saddle screws for correct intonation I have a shortscale project that is sadly frozen because of 3 screws missing I'd be very grateful if someone can help please. As can be seen in the picture I need longer screws for the saddles Original sc...
