Members Caroway Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 I am replacing the top ferrules/retainers on a guitar I recently bought because it was missing 3 and I was wondering if they are generall the same size. Can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Glom-o Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Top ferrules? That's unfamiliar to me. What kind of guitar is it? The string-through guitars that I've seen have the bridge on top of the string holes like Telecasters and hardtail Stratocasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pipedwho Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 There seem to be a few different ferrule sizes used by different manufacturers. Even the same manufacturer (eg Schecter) have a couple of sizes they use. I went looking for replacements for my Schecter C1-Classic and couldn't find anything that fit - so I just cleaned up the existing ones. You could try GMP, they may have some spare parts stocked. They seem high end, so I doubt you'll have too much trouble getting something from them. cheers,pw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Caroway Posted November 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 They closed shop. I tried their number, but it seems to be residential now. Oh well. I just measured the ones on it and I found some replacements. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Caroway Posted November 22, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2005 I got the right ones off ebay from a music shop. Should be here in a day or so. I'll get some pics after I do some investigating on the GMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
