Vintage Bluesbird pickup ring screws

[parsox]

Can you tell me where to get screws for the pickup bezel on a bluesbird or what size they are?

I ordered some with a pickup recently but they were slightly larger in diameter, same for the head of the screw.

thanks

Mine are #3, 5/8 long. A hardware store may not have wood screws that small, a store that caters to woodworkers should.

Thanks Doc. Any ideas on how to get originals or NOS vs buying a complete pup off ebay?
It seems most of the parts stores have screws with philips tops

Mine are Phillips, I think they are original. What year is your guitar? I'm no expert on this, just pulled one of mine out and measured it.

Early 70s I believe, the serial number is hard to read but you can see pics in the M75 71-72 thread.
