I have finished 5 electric guitars now. The last three used all black hardware. Where do you purchase black finish screws for your pickguards, switches, etc. ?? I ordered mine from StewMac but I want to pay less per screw (fiquratively and literally) and get say 100 or 200 screws. I've checked at Ace and the big box stores to no avail.

Thanks for any help.

Danny

Ebay has an answer for all! http://cgi.ebay.com/50-New-Black-Pickgu ... 3601wt_957 You can also buy them by the hundred on ebay, but its $10 for 100 where its only $4 for fifty so I would just order 2 or four sets of 50 :D

Be warned, the seller for the screws in the link I sent is located in Hong Kong. This means 3 week shipping [xx(] Heres a page with only North America based sellers http://instruments.shop.ebay.com/i.html ... m270.l1313

Danny, the Ebay route is the most definitely the cheapest. But you can get set up as a dealer for www.allparts.com or wdbiz.com to get hardware at bulk prices.

Thanks, I knew someone here would help a guy out! Of course buying black screws in bulk will assure that pink screws will be all the rage.

Thanks
