Lost saddle screw for Mastery Bridge - help?

I realized I lost one of the saddle adjustment screws on the Mastery bridge I have on the Jaguar. I looked to see if Mastery sells the screws (they don't). Does anyone have any advice about how to replace this? Perhaps its a standard size that I can order from some other place? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, email them first and see if they can supply you one and, if not, give you the size/specs to find your own.

I'm sure they'll sort you out though.

If you meant the saddle height adjustment screws, it's a 4-40 thread grub screw, 1/4" length for the outermost screws, or 3/8" length for inner two screws. Interestingly, I was looking at a recent one, and the screws have both a channel with a nylon thread locker, and a knurled/serrated cup edge. I don't think the older ones were like that.

A plain cup point screw would still work fine, and you could just use regular locktite on it. But, yeah, I'd still contact them and see if they'll send you a new screw.

If you meant the intonation screw, that's also 4-40, but 5/8" thread length, socket head. The new ones also have the nylon thread locker. All the screws are stainless steel, of course.

Email Mastery. I emailed them recently asking if they had any tips to prevent a saddle screw from coming loose and they said they should be self-locking and sent me a set free of charge. 10/10 customer service.

Same experience with the Mastery Ric bridge.
