Dopro 2xK1658-Dopro M3x8mm Black Guitar Saddle Height Screws, 100-Pack
Product description
M3x8mm black alloy-steel screws come in a 100-pack for adjusting guitar bridge saddle height. The metric thread and hex head identify the size and style, the set is presented for Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster bridges, but the thread and screw length still need to match the saddle setup.
An Allen wrench is included, so the package covers the screws and a tool for installation. The key buying decision is fit: these are metric M3 screws, not the US-thread versions also used on some guitars.

The black finish is specified as black oxidation, and the product details identify this black version as alloy steel. The listing also describes metric screws as common on many guitars made outside the United States, including many MIM guitars. That is a general guide, not a substitute for matching the thread and height of the screws already used by your bridge.
How to use it
These screws are intended to adjust the height of guitar bridge saddles. Before fitting them, compare the required thread and length with the existing screws or the bridge’s specifications. M3 is a metric thread, a screw with a similar appearance but a US thread is not an equivalent replacement. The listed 8mm length is also one of several metric heights offered for this product family, so the right choice depends on the saddle and the adjustment range needed.
For a practical repair or setup, keep the removed screws available for comparison, then use the included Allen wrench with the replacement screws. Avoid forcing a screw that does not engage smoothly. Worth considering if your bridge calls for M3x8mm screws and you want a multi-screw supply for adjustments or replacements. It’s not for you if your bridge requires a US-thread screw or a different metric height, the listing distinguishes those versions rather than presenting them as interchangeable.
What you get
The package contains 100 black hex set screws and an Allen wrench. The quantity can suit a repair bench or provide spares for future saddle adjustments, though the product details do not specify a storage case or additional bridge parts. This is a focused hardware set, not a complete saddle or bridge replacement kit.
Should you buy it?
Choose this set when you have confirmed that your guitar’s saddles use metric M3 threads and need the 8mm screw length. It offers a larger supply than a small replacement pair, which may be useful when replacing several screws or keeping compatible spares on hand. If you are choosing between these and a basic single-screw replacement, the 100-pack makes more sense when quantity matters, if thread type or height is uncertain, identify those first rather than relying on the Fender Stratocaster/Telecaster fit wording alone.
