I am trying to locate the brass, round, phillips head screws, #2 x 1/2" that hold the bobbins to the baseplate on Gibson PAF's. They are only threaded halfway. Anyone know where these exact screws can be found?

Gibson also used slot head screws and steel screws. I have steel slot heads on a zebra PAF and a couple of early Pat.#'s with steel screws that the only difference between them and a PAF is the sticker. Most of my early T-Tops use brass.
I would try some of the folks like Stew-Mac or Mojotone that sell parts for making pickups.
