Fender Genuine Parts Telecaster Strat Screws & Backplate I purchased a used Fender Telecaster (it might have been an Esquire) a while back, and most of the screws had been replaced with slotted screws. These are the original screws that came with it. Plus, there's a genuine Fender Strat backplate I had at home. I think it's quite difficult to gather this many genuine screws. For those who need them, or for spares.
