Watched your stud removal technique awesome solution just as a footnote for those who may be worried about the screw going into the timber you could always find a small flat disc of metal and drop that in before you apply the pushead screw technique then just use a pencil with blutack on the end to retrieve the small disc or a magnetic screwdriver. later gillyzoom
thanks this may help me out. I've a 06 Gibson v that i'm going to give the 67' treatment, the ground is currently running to the stopbar bushing. which i think the connection has gone lose. but that dosnt matter because i need to remove the bar and install a vibrola, sodering the ground to the woodscrew would be a pain in the ass. moving the ground to the bridge seems so much easier. thanks for showing now i just have to get my sodering gun out.
I assume the original TOM-bushings has these flutings or grooves just like in a rifle, but straight instead of spiraled, just as the stop tail bushings I´ve seen have?
And is it correct that the original bushings don´t rotate when pulled out by your method, since that would destroy (widen) the drilled hole?
I'm so glad I found this. Stewmac said I need expensive tools for this, and I wan't to upgrade my bridge next month. Oh and that's a gorgeous guitar; I want to touch it.
Awesome trick & video. Thanks for sharing. i cut the head off a bolt that was a little thinner in diameter than the bushing, about 1/2" long, and filed the end flat & smooth so it won't dig into the guitar. More surface to surface area this way. Thanks again! (I'd protect the top of the guitar though :) Yikes! 1 slip...hate to imagine that!
is every stock tailpeice and stop bar the same size as a tone pro's? or is there different sizes? cuz i dont wana get the wrong size, ive got an esp ltd exp lawsuit explorer an its got a no-name bridge an stop bar on it
@Pusheadcic yeah i cant really decide what to do the ec50 works really fine for me, and upgrading it completely will still cost less than buying anec1000 or something simillar...
JUST ANOTHER TIP on this, I just did it with my bushings. if one bushing sits VERY TIGHT IN THE WOOD THIS WILL CAUSE THE ´helping screw´ to drill into the wood even further!! so just be careful..
Cool, it worked. Thanks. Question. The new studs I have to put in the old holes are just a little too small so the new stud wiggles a little. Any advice on how to fill it in and get it snug?
The best advice would be to fill the hole with a wood dowel (glue it in) and re-drill the holes. But you can do a similar thing with toothpicks. Just glue them in around the edge of the hole, let them dry, and then shove the new studs in.
@Pusheadcic Thanks. The first way is defiantly the more professional way to fill it in, but i worry about the ground wire. I tried the toothpick theory, and it seems to be holding up. I think that will work. Thanks again
@aicfuel can also get a good two part marine epoxy and set them in that real careful to mask the hole off first and take an exacto knife to cut the tape back clean, use just enough to goop out just a little and none on the bottom. then clean back any that gooped out and place your bridge or tailpiece on to make sure it cures lined up. it will be rock solid (pretty much permanent) you will actually maximize an excellent contact it will be part of the guitar, we use it to fix broken necks.
so once you've removed the bushings, how do you put in the new ones? Also is it not necessary to replace the stop tail bushings? Hypothetically, If I were blacking out my guitar too.
Most of the time, you can just press them in with your thumb to get them started, and then a small mallet to get them the rest of the way. I usually place a small piece of wood between the top of the bushing and the mallet to avoid smacking the top of the guitar.
You could use glue on the bushings, but there is no real reason for that on a T-O-M. There is nothing pulling against it, just the strings resting on top of it.
There is no need to replace the stop bar bushings.
Really sorry it didn't work for you, man. I've never had it not work, and it seems to work for a lot of other people, too. There are specialty "bushing pullers" available through sites like Stewart MacDonald that you can get that might be able to get the job done.
@Pusheadcic thanks man sorry about the last comment i was really ticked it's not too big of a crack and im goin to paint it any way so it'll be fine sorry again
Yes, you just need to find something small enough to fit in there. I've used wood dowels in there, but there's a chance of it cracking. I've also used parts of heavy gauge nails with the ends cut off and filed down so it doesn't stick in the wood. I made the move to small screws because it was less work, but there are lots of options that will work.
@Pusheadcic yeah i tapped inside the studs with an allen key and it does sound like wood down there =D so i'll just keep my eyes open for something solid that'll fit.. thanks for the idea bro
Hey I tried this yesterday on a strat that had a slight misplaced bushing for a 2 point WIlkinson trem. Those bushings were literally driven in with a hammer so I was skeptical that this method would actually work. I dropped the small screw in place, threaded in the stud, and started turning it with the supplied allen key......and viola! Immediatey the bushing lifted right out like magic! Excellent vid and great info!!!

I've never had to do that before, but looking at my Horizon, it appears that each string has 2 inserts, one on the top and one on the back. I'd probably try to use some sort of metal rod that's the approximate size of the hole. Since it's smaller, I'd do the top first (hopefully the rod will fit through the back hole.)
Love it!!!!!life saver...Thanks man...i'm doing an explorer build and installed my studs but forgot the ground wire to stud...Thanks check out my vids on my build..Thanks
im pretty sure it doesnt matter what the quality of your guitar is...if its a good guitar this wont damage your body it might put a little bit of chipping at the bottom of the slot but i did this on my Jackson guitar and it worked very easily im sure if its a guitar you want to upgrade its not going to damage the body.
this didn't work. i have a less paul copy. i screwed the thread in slowly and when it got harder to turn. it just heard cracking. i thin the screw is starting to push into the wood? nothing budged and now i have screw stuck inside. and i have a screw on the bottom...
Its the same concept as a crank puller, if any body has worked as a bicycle mechanic before.
I haven't tried this, and don't know if the diameter of the bushing would allow for it; but if you used a screw with a bigger head (more surface area in contact with the wood) maybe it wouldn't damage your body.
This looks like an Excellent method....I have never tried it but it looks really good. The way I have done it in the past is I have taken a long threaded screw, screw it in and rock it slightly back and fourth till it comes out
I use another one, which can sometime let some small mark on the clearcoat but mostly i had no problem, i use kind of metal coin with a hole in the middle which are slightly larger than the bushing, then i screw the insert in and i don't need to use strength on a screw or anything just the more the bushing come the more i add coin like i need to guide it and then he will pop out i'll try to make a video of it i. Anyway very nice technic more effective on archtop kind of guitar i think than mine.
Hello, I need to replace my stop tail bushings. You say they are glued in and are a bit of a pain to get out with your method. What makes them a pain vs the tun o matic piece. Is it the glue and if so in what way should one be careful? Thanks for posting such a helpful video
The glue might make it a bit tougher. Just be careful that you don't damage the finish. You might want to use an exact-o blade (razor blade) to trace around the bushing first.
WOW thats gonna save on future headaches i've just left them in many times afraid of screwing things up.thats one of those why did'nt i think of that kinda things thanks great tip
