Need a new screw for the bridge of my Rickenbacker NS

Anyone knows the exact dimensions of this old screw? I can't find the same shaft diameter in hardware stores where I live (Paris).

In Paris, you can try to find Castorama your version of a Home Depot.

They typically have a screw sizer in the fastener section.

Most likely an American Thread size, verses a Metric Size.

You can also get various Nuts to try that to figure it out,

From the photos it looks like a #6 32 thread per inch or # 6 24 thread per inch.

If you need a New Bridge and or nut I sell 3D printed ones that fit and in White or Black

With no way of guaranteeing that the screw is identical, I'll just say that I believe it is original, it is on a 1939 Silver Hawaiian and I think it likely that it is the same. This is a 6-32 .

Thanks guys !

Sometimes it helps to look for a different guitar that may use the same screw. In this case the 1950s Telecasters used these 6-32 x 1/2" round head screws to mount the Bridge Pickups.Fender sells reissued screws for their guitars.I think the reissues are a little longer then 1/2" but they will still work and they are nickel plated.New screws on old guitars can sometimes look a little goofy but there are ways to age them.

Good idea. Thanks.
