Derby cross shaft bushings

Post by DeWayne Lanier »

I'm in the process of replacing the cross shaft bushings on my Derby. There are three bushings per cross shaft. One center bushing on the center brace and one on each end where the cross shaft attaches to the guitar body.

A. Would anyone have the correct OEM bushings for sale?
B. Would another guitar manufacturer bushing work on the Derby?

I appreciate the help.

How many sizes are there? 2 or 3? Are both end pins the same... then the one in the rail?

Might need to do some measuring and checking, but won't Emmons LeGrande bushings work? I think they both use 5/16" shafts.
