Dopro K1846-Gold-Dopro Guitar Screws, #3 x 3/8", Stainless Steel, 30-Pack

For a hardware refresh on a USA Gibson Les Paul or SG, matching the screw size helps keep the replacement straightforward. These Dopro #3 x 3/8" screws are made for pickguards, back plates, and switch plates, giving you one gold-finish set for common guitar hardware work.

The 30-piece pack uses stainless steel with an oval flat head and Phillips drive. Its dimensions are intended for direct replacement on vintage, reissue, and contemporary Gibson electric guitars without stepping up to larger screws or enlarging the existing holes.

Where it shines

Use these screws when replacing or securing a pickguard, back plate, or switch plate on a compatible USA Gibson guitar. The #3 x 3/8" size is the practical distinction: Gibson-size screws are slightly smaller than Fender-size screws, so choosing the matching format avoids treating the two as interchangeable. The product is identified for USA Les Paul, SG, and Flying V guitars, the stated direct-replacement fit also covers vintage/reissue and contemporary Gibson electric guitars.

The gold finish gives the replacement hardware a coordinated look, while stainless steel provides corrosion resistance for everyday instrument use. Because the pack contains 30 screws, it can supply multiple hardware points during a repair or give you matching replacements to keep on hand. It suits a focused repair better than buying a mixed assortment when you already need this specific size and head style.

Key points

Each screw is a fully threaded, right-hand wood screw with an oval flat head and Phillips drive. The cross-recessed head is designed for a Phillips screwdriver, and the fully threaded shank provides threading along the screw’s length. The stainless steel construction and gold color are useful details when both material and visible hardware appearance matter.

These are Gibson-size screws, not Fender-size replacements. They are not intended for Fender guitars, where the screw size differs. For a compatible Gibson, the specified dimensions are intended to replace stock screws directly, without enlarging the existing holes or forcing in a larger fastener. The set includes 30 stainless steel screws.

Tips for day-to-day use

Choose a Phillips screwdriver that fits the head properly and apply controlled pressure while turning. This helps protect the cross recess from damage during installation or removal. When replacing a screw, use the existing hole and the specified size rather than forcing a larger screw into the guitar. Keep the other screws together so matching replacements are easy to find for later pickguard, back-plate, or switch-plate work.

Before you decide

Which guitars are these screws for? They are specified for most USA-made Gibson Les Paul and SG guitars, including vintage/reissue and contemporary electric guitars. The product is also identified for USA Les Paul, SG, and Flying V models. They are not for Fender guitars because Fender-size screws are larger.

What hardware can they secure? They are commonly used for guitar pickguards, back plates, and switch plates. Their #3 x 3/8" size is intended for the specified Gibson applications.

What is included, and what tool should I use? The package includes 30 stainless steel screws with oval flat heads and Phillips drives. Use an appropriately sized Phillips screwdriver to help prevent damage to the screw head.

Is it worth it?

For a compatible USA Gibson guitar that needs pickguard or plate screws, this set brings together the specified #3 x 3/8" size, stainless steel construction, gold finish, and 30 matching fasteners. It is a practical fit for replacing hardware with the intended Gibson-size screw rather than choosing a larger or Fender-size alternative.
