Will these metric screws fit?
Most strats made outside of the USA, including most Mexican Strat's, have metric screws. Though there are exceptions, including Mexican Strat's fitted with USA made Classic 70s Bridges / American Vintage Series bridges, which have imperial/USA screws.
Early indications are the new MIM Player Series Strats may use fine threaded imperial/USA screws (we don't supply these at present).
Metric screws have a less course thread than most imperial/USA screws and have a very slightly larger diameter. Though accurate measurement of the length of a screw is often the best way to tell the thread type if no direct comparison is possible.
Metric screws should measure a number of whole millimetres in length - Typically 10mm, while Imperial/USA screws will not measure a whole number of millimetres - Typically 9.5mm
However differences are more difficult to spot between 8mm and 5/16"(7.9mm) screws.
