they are little screws that adjust the height. you use an allen key on them.

I need to get some but I can't find them as I can't remember what they are called.

and plan to give it to my father.

Some new pick ups (I have to buy a soldering iron), pickguard different colour, fix the jack as the screw is missing. Get a replacement tremolo.

It's all adding up might as well buy him a new guitar.

Ever tried buying a comb in a pound shop? You have to buy a pack of 12.

Presumably he'll try and sell you a guitar, but you never know.

Shops. People. Service. :cloud9:

They are the wrong colour. Or in the US or Holland.

Rubbish.

Time was when you could spend £15 on strings and get a handfull of free picks.
