I've just been fixing up an old tatty Nitefly of mine. Unfortunately at some point I've lost half the pickguard screws. I have some other generic pickguard screws, but they're clearly a different size/thickness/thread, so don't want to just round out the holes. Anyone know what screw type the originals were?
I'm in the UK, so any suggestions where I can buy them over here appreciated, but as long as I know the thread/size I can look that up myself.
Thanks!

Pickguard screw size?
2004 Blue Fly Mojo Flame (MH/MH), Distressed Red 2000 NiteFly M (MH/MH), 2000 MIDIFly (MH/MH), 2000 NiteFly SA (SA/MH), 2007 Southern NiteFly (SA/Maple), 2014 Fly Mojo Flame (with neck issues), rather tatty 1997 Nitefly NFV1 (Maple/Basswood).
Re: Pickguard screw size?
Not sure but I think a #2 oval head or flat head Phillips wood screw should work. Personal preference for the oval head.
Probably 1/4” or 3/8” long is plenty. (That would be about 6-9mm long in more sensible dimensions.)
