I have a B6 with some screws missing (like me) that hold the plates in on the front of the guitar. They don't have a match at my local Lowe's. They appear to be either 3-48 or 3-56 size 3/8 to 1/2 ...

Thanks but I checked and the screw hole placement is off - hence my quest continues.

What about some of the expanding foam sprays like Great Stuff?

Rick loving them means a LOT.

I have been reading on this site about the Ric lap steels and seems everyone loves the Bakelite's but the "metal" ones (model 59, S, NS and SD) get mixed reviews.

Any ideas as to how much this guitar is worth as it sits vs. After the repair?

Tite-Bond or Tite-Bond II is the go-to stuff for wood repairs, but not so much for plastics.
