They look and feel exactly the same as the branded screws that cost twice or, in some cases, even three times as much. They're high quality and fit well. I haven't found the quality of plating or durability in any way inferior to, say, Gibson screws. I am not sure if the thread and composition of materials is exactly the same as on the branded ones so if you need a replacement for one of the vintage instruments in your collection, these screws may not be the most vintage-correct choice, but if all you want is a quality screw, look no further.
