Where can one buy these? I can't imagine that they're exclusively made for steel guitars. Are they a hardware-store item? I know that there are known sources, but sometimes a 'minimum order' is applied.
Does anyone know the right thread for an Emmons LeGrande?
As a 'PS', I have to admit to a bit of a faux pas! I was rejigging a pull on my RKR and found it wouldn't tune up afterwards. The bottom B on E9 refused to drop to an A - close, but not close enough. 
Can you believe what I'd done?? Instead of putting on a spacer then the threaded-hex, I had somehow put TWO threaded ones on the same rod.
I don't know if that's what caused the issue, but it's fixed now.

FWIW, I put a SIT .038 "Power wound" string on my LaGrande and all timing and stop adjustments flew out the window. Whatever makes it a power wound, must be the culpret. I'm thinking possibly a thicker core? Ron
