Anyone know if you can get a metric bushing to take a nashville style post?

YES Yes you can!

Where from I can't remember but I read all about them on mylespaul forum.

Just do a search there ASAP.

I would look on the StewMac website for such a thing - if they make it, StewMac will have it.

There weren't any on stewmac that I could find but DAn Erlewine speaks of them in his book

hmm, not looking good :( Looks like I may have to buy another bridge :( It's weird that I can't find any though, as the bushing would fit perfectly into the larger bushing if it was threaded, so you'd think someone would make it.

Can't be hard to get them made up.

origination costs would almost certainly make this prohibitive though. Maybe I should order a couple of hundred and sell them on ebay......

Dunno, if you can procide a propper drawing for a bloke with a lathe, you may be able to get them done for a donation to the tea and bsucuit fund  :lol:
