I have exhausted Google.
So as my title asks, does anyone have any suggestions for gold slide switch screws.
The search engine here excludes the word "gold" no matter how I try to include it, with + or quotes, this search does no work that way, and for my purposes was futile.
All gold hardware but with nickel screws for the slide switches looks wrong.
The size I see is #4-40 x 1/4" Phillips oval head.
I was unable to find #4-40 in any length in gold.
Is there a metric alternative? Possibly metric switches with metric screws and forego the Switchcraft?
Even gold screws for the JM pickups were hard to find.
This link is for a '94 MIJ with all gold screws - I think it looks good on the tortoise.

Re: Gold slide switch screws?
Most metric slide switches (size normal Jazzmaster/Jaguar) will need size M3 screws, for example:

I've been wondering the same (and looking locally) for black screws for the same switches. They are very hard to find.

I found them in brass when I was trying to do the same sort of thing. I didn't find gold in the right size. Brass doesn't look too much off to bother most people visually.
