I do a fair amount of work on electric guitars. I don't like the idea of
replacing hex head set screws with slotted. I have had to remove many frozen set screws from guitars and I was always glad I had a solid hex head which doesn't strip out. The problem with slotted is they strip unless you have a very precisely matched screwdriver with parallel sides, and such screwdrivers are hard to come by. However, the set screws should be easy to find from any industrial supplier. It's your ax, but I wonder what you're going to do when you have to take the set screw loose and it strips out.

I'm trying to make it as original as possible. The telecaster knobs had
slotted screws. I use a jewelers screwdriver and never had a problem. I agree with you, if an oldie was stuck in there, big problem. Thanks, Ron |
