Bridge screw went awol

[Grooven]

New strings came into the mail,put on some jams to get down to business got everything done cleaning wise go to put the 8th string on and realized that the screw on the bridge for the low f# is gone. I looked everywhere in my room but after losing my mind I'm calm but need to replace the screw that's where y'all come in lol. The guitar is an Agile septor 827 fixed bridge. Any specific ones I should look into or what..Any help is good

Take one of the other screws to a hardware store.

I'd say take the saddle itself to the hardware store and match up a screw, otherwise you might get the wrong size thread.

Take both.

That way you'll know that it's roughly the right length and has the right threading.

just take your guitar to the hardware store

I was just at my local Home Depot and Lowe’s and neither had set screws that small (i lost a saddle screw too).

Email Rondo, ask for the set screw size, then order them from McMaster Carr.

I was thinking of doing that but thought that would be such a specific thing that they wouldnt know but yeah I'll try it

If they design and sell guitars trust me, then they understand screw threads and definitely know which set screws are in the bridge.

I could be mistaken but, i believe the saddle screws on my Cepheus passive bridge are #4-40.

Well I sent them an email asking the specific size of screw and they came back basically saying I would be better off replacing the entire saddle which I do not want to do. Only screw that's missing is only for the F# so what size would that be this whole thing is becoming an headache. I'm horrible with stuff like this but I'm tired of guitar shops overpriced labor and whatnot

What size allen key are you using to adjust the action?

All i need is the drive size and i can tell what size set screw it is. I’ll give you a part number and a link to order the screws. They probably only cost a few cents.

I would just measure my own screws but, i won’t be with my Agile for another 2 days

 

[Grooven]

Don't have any Allen keys but I use a Philips screwdriver for minor intonation adjustments. And that would be a life saver dude (thanks in advance)also I'll wait till you get your measurements I'm in no hurry. As long as I don't have to take it to a shop and it's a quick fix screw swap

 

[Bearitone]

Oh it’s the intonation screw! I thought it was one of the two little set-screws for adjusting the saddle height.

Alright i’ll measure when i get a chance and let you know what you need

 

[Grooven]

Yeah that's my bad dude I should've been more specific and again thanks

Yo! totally forgot about this til today, my bad

Here's a link. I know for a fact its a #4 screw and I'm almost certain its a #4-48 not a #4-40.

If you don't want a phillips head just click around and there's plenty of different head types. Sadly I couldn't find anything on amazon. Try ebay or Grainger too

hope this helps
