Hi all. I need a pair of Historic strap button screws, 1 1/2" no. 8. I'm based in the UK. Anyone know where I might find these? Many thanks.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's more vintage correct than Gibson Historic. Others may have a cheaper solution.

One of my stock Historic strap button screws broke off inside my R8! I've heard that they may be a cheaper and weaker screw material - Not sure though

These ones are apparently steel and perhaps stronger... I put this set on my R8.

I'm in Canada. If you're looking for genuine Gibson parts, you can buy them separately. I was in a music store just yesterday and saw them, although I would personally buy from elsewhere like Cream Tone.

Thanks Tim, I emailed the store I bought the guitar from ( a big name store here in the UK). They haven't even bothered to reply.
