Fender badge on Stringmaster

Post by Alex Cattaneo »

Time to re-attach the Fender logo on my Stringmaster. When I got the guitar, this was attached to the front of the guitar, where the decal usually goes! I know where to set it from pictures, but I was wondering if these are the right screws? Maybe someone knows (Tony Oresteen?) or could post some some close-up pictures of the badge on their unmolested Stringmaster.

For what it’s worth, the badge on my Dual Pro is attached with small nails.

They are called Escutcheon pins. They come in many sizes,Nickel plated or solid Brass etc......They are cheap on Ebay or any hardware supply . The key is figuring out the size you need. It should go into the wood about 1/2 inch. Pre-drill the hole just slightly smaller then the shaft size.

Looks like the holes on your badge have been enlarged (to fit the screws). Might make it difficult to fit the badge using the pins, which look a lot smaller anc may not cover the holes.
