1 x - String Ferrule - Japanese Size
Slightly larger then the Ferrules seen on guitars from the USA, Korea
and China - with a diameter of 9.5mm, a length of 9.5mm and lacking the
characteristic lip of "normal" ferrules - they turn up fairly often on
Japanese Fender® Telecaster® guitars, but in all likelihood turn up on
other makes and models too.
Prices From: £1.34 Inc VAT
6 x Top of Body Ferrules
Small Ferrules fitted into the top of a body, eliminating the need for a tail piece, and giving the advantage of stringing through the body of the guitar, bringing in a little more of the woods characteristics into the sound.
Prices From: £3.46 Inc VAT
6 x Ferrules - Bullet
These "bullet" ferrules are a slight departure from the original version of the 50s and 60s. They initially debuted as a companion part to a set of strings in the mid 70s and more commonly seen on hard tails.
Suitable for a Telecaster® and Hardtail Bridges
Prices From: £4.50 Inc VAT
Bass Ferrules
Designed to fit into the back of a bass to allow for string through body bridges, Argued to give a little more sustain, and draw in a little more of the body woods characteristics into your sound.
Prices From: £4.50 Inc VAT
6 x Ferrules - Knarled Edge
The Knarled Edge ferrules turn up fairly often on guitar made in the far east rather then in the USA (which seem to use the Smooth edged version with more regularity) - exactly the same principle but the knarlled edge have "teeth" around the barrel section to help them grip the body more efficiently.
Suitable for a Telecaster® and Hardtail Bridges
Prices From: £5.00 Inc VAT
6 x Ferrules - Smooth Edge
Ferrules are a fairly basic piece of hardware once you look into them; they are simply small metal “cups” which hold the ball end of the string in place as it is fed through the back of the guitar.
The advantages compared to a “string though top” setup are pretty wide ranging, but the main attraction is that they allow the strings movement to resonate more efficiently through the wood of the guitars body, giving a much more honest tone to the sound, really emphasising that classic Tele® snap and twang that has proven so popular in recent decades.
Suitable for a Telecaster® and Hardtail Bridges
