Humbucker Mounting Screws

He would think it'd be easy to find this out but I'm having difficulty. I have an old pair of Agile humbuckers I want to use on a project. The original humbucker screws are too wide for the holes in the Agile pickups. Does anyone know the specific measurements I need to order screws that will fit? Thanks.

Phillips roundhead, 3-48 thread x 1-1/4" (31.8mm)

would be for US and most humbuckers, the SX come with wider screw diameter...I believe I have that right.
Gotta keep em separated !

I had 3 different size screws...none worked. Then I actually found the originals. The original Agile screws are the thinnest of the bunch and only ones that fit.

I would guess they are metric.

I have GFS, Epiphone, Guitar Madness, Di Marzio, Artec, Giovanni and none use the screws the Agiles do....weird.

If any of the shafts of the screws you have are larger than the holes in the Agile pickups, you can then rationalize buying a tap and die set and just re-tap them. Or just take the pickups to HD/Lowes or a good hardware store and match them up...

I dunno, they might be metric and different size like EMG.

Apropos, I wonder why is it that hardly anyone who sells used pickups ever sells them with their screws? I buy all mu pickups used, and almost invariably they come sam's screws. Why would you do that...? Really annoying.
