Workingman Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Some styles of tune-o-matics used bushing and some did not. If your style is supposed to have bushings, you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built a maple topped Tele with a vintage nashville TOM without bushings. The point is that the non-bushing posts need a solid hardwood to support them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
