1/4-inch Tuner Bushings/Ferrules - Choose Color & Pack Size

These 1/4" inside-diameter vintage-style tuner bushings are great for use on guitars, banjos, cigar box guitars, dulcimers and any other stringed instrument that uses standard post-style tuners. These can be used for new instrument building work or repair, and are a very cost-effective alternative to much more expensive varieties.

These bushings will work with two different drill hole sizes. With 7/32" they are quite snug and you have to tap them in with a hammer (preferably using a piece of wood to keep the hammer from marring the finish of the rim). With a 1/4" bit they are moderately snug but may need gluing, and with a 9/32 you'd definitely need to glue them in. It is always best to experiment with a piece of scrap before tackling your main build!

Measurement specs for this item are:
Inside Diameter: 0.25"
