Fender Bracket + (2) Fender Roller Knobs, for Jazzmaster Mini Pots

This is a problem we're familiar with, but had forgotten about. Our experience with it involves Strat pickguards - on Fender's vintage 8-hole Strat pickguards that are anodized, the pickup and switch mounting holes are countersunk, requiring an oval-head machine screw. The pickups don't pose a problem, but when you mount the switch the same thing happens that this customer experienced: the substrate is too thin to allow the screw heads to seat into the countersinks before the threads are bottomed out. The easy solution is to put small washers between the back of the pickguard and the switch (or in this customer's case, the Jazzmaster's bracket).

But the more elegant solution is to use machine screws with undercut heads. Which we have just realized we need to stock! So if you're reading this review and you're considering buying this bracket and using it on an anodized aluminum pickguard, be sure to search our site for ''undercut screws'' to find the screws you need. And apologies to this customer, we're going to replace his bracket and send him undercut screws.
