Shown below is an EXAMPLE photo of the splined, press-in, hex-head type of tuners string shaft bushings Danelectro most often used.  The neck being described on these webpages does not have string ferrule bushings that many (but not all) Danelectros had.  The ferrule bushings were not put on some more-economic models although the necks were the same, ....such as the thinline acoustic guitar that would be a Convertible model if a pickup and tuner bushings were installed; So the bushings were not installed until the neck was assigned to the particular guitar it was going on, or assigned to a batch of parts staged for a line or run of a particular model that used the bushings, .....and thus why this neck is without bushings, and probably why it has a hard nylon nut rather than the usual aluminum nut Danelectro used most.

I recommend using bushings because they keep the tuners string posts from wearing the wood on the butt-end of their holes over time.  Stewart Macdonalds and Allparts both have the hex-head, and the more-standard round string shaft bushings that work just fine.

Gears have never been lubricated with lithium grease as they are when they would leave the factory on a guitar:
