Are as good as any.
I see so many reviews related to broken wood screws. This may sound elementary to some but here goes!
Use a screw driver with a perfect fit for the screw head. Hand tighten with even force. It should feel like it was made to fit. If it doesn't. STOP LUBRICATE! This applies especially to small tuner screws. Nothing fancy. I use parrafin wax ,candles, or just plain bar soap. Rub the wax with the screw until the threads are evenly coated. No oil! If the screw is correct for the hole you should have no problems. Most of all. Use patience. I hope I save sombody a big headache!

The only screws I use with Warmoth necks
As every luthier knows, you should apply wax to the screw and neck holes before inserting. I use Lee Valley beeswax (salad bowl wax). One $2 tub will probably last the rest of my life.. Use a toothpick for the neck holes. These screws are a little thinner than Fender US and lot thinner than Squire and Ibanez. A perfect match for Warmoth necks. I have never tried the gold, but have used dozens of the chrome and black.

Broken screw heads
These screw heads broke off as i was tightening into a WARMOTH neck by HAND. Of poor quality.
