Toronado bridge saddle screw sizes?

[ScottDR]

Anybody know what the saddle height and intonation screw thread sizes are on the Fender Toronado bridge (made in Mexico) that Warmoth sells? I don't have thread gages that small to measure for myself and my local hardware store has nothing that small. Planning to replace the originals with stainless on my Duo-Sonic build. I assume they are metric......

I do not know, but they are inexpensive so get a couple sets of eachon the zon.

I've narrow them down to M3 x 0.5-15mm or #4-48 x 9/16" for the intonation screws......

I actually don't own an imperial thread gage, but looking at my Toronado bridge it appears that both the saddle height and intonation screws are M3 x 0.5. The saddle height screws appear to be 10mm long. The intonation screws are ~ 16mm long. Regardless, be very careful not to cross-thread the screws as these are very fine pitch and replacement stainless screws will be harder than the soft steel stamped saddles.

Just had a client ask about swapping the set screws in their American Standard bridge saddles for something shorter. A search brought this thread up. I'm assuming that the Gotoh 510 would have similar screws in the saddles, but don't have one handy to check that. Maybe someone with a 510 can chime in on that.

Another search finds these at McMaster-Carr:

A check on the calipers confirms that the existing ones in an American Standard are M3x0.5x10mm. I'm going to order some 6mm and some 8mm and will report back my findings at some point.

I have a set similar to this but one metric one SAE. Then you are all set. No more annoying hand rub.
