are you sure you need them? you can't have had that guitar very long. maybe you should just get used to it for awhile before you go changing things around. springs can be adjusted by lengthening or shortening them if really necessary.
derby's are good steels. shouldn't be any problems unless some other idiot messed around with it. |

Bill,
I had a steel with a similar problem. The changer spring adjustment screws were really short and wouldn't allow me to back them off without popping out of the springs. I just bought some longer screws for a couple of bucks, and solved the problem.
You will have to determine the size, probably something like 4-40. Then go to:
