    Measure one of the other screws for thread diameter and length, then go to a hardware shop. If you're in Dublin, there's one on Capel St, otherwise ebay it.

    I'd imagine these might work https://www.allparts.com/GS-0004-005-Pack-of-6-Steel-Bridge-Length-Screws_p_1701.html

    As above. What you’re looking for is ‘a screw’. Ibanez didn’t have special screws specially designed for their hardware. Take one of the others out, pop into a hardware shop, and ask for ‘one of these, please’.

    Looks like you need a spring too, but I'd say one out of a pen would probably do the trick (possibly cut a bit short [watch for a sharp end if you do that]).

    hi biketard
    luckily i still have the spring its in a box for now so i dont loose it.
    i have ordered some screws from ebay - hopefully they are the correct size.

    i checked local hardware stores and music shops and no one stocked screws of the correct size.......

    Ahh, that's good with the spring. Good luck with the replacement screw!
