Try a model shop Jimmy, one that deals in model aircraft. I found lots of the bits they sell are suitable for steel

Jimmy, go to any welding suppliers and get some stainless welding rods. 3.2mm/1/8" or 2.4mm/3/32" they come in 1 metre lengths. I used to pay 50p each then I found it was cheaper to buy them by the Kilo. Hope it helps, take care mate.

1/8 inch = 0.125 inches
3.2mm = 0.125984252 inches
That 0.000984252" can mean you may have to open up the holes in the changer. My not be an issue on most guitars but is a bother on Sierra Session's.
Of course totally irrelevant if your making your own guitar from scaratch... :roll:
