I bought a True Historic 59 Les Paul earlier this year and couldn't be happier with it.
However, I was tweaking the setup a little this evening and noticed that one of the tailpiece studs appeared to have no bushing and was screwed directly into the wood (I hadn't noticed because the tailpiece has been screwed low to the body since I bought it so it was previously not visible). Is this normal? The other stud has a bushing, I've attached a couple of photos. I'm a bit worried that without a bushing it could lead to problems further down the road.
