Recently my second Semi Scratch build was used by a band for the new album recording (don't ask yet, can't say as its not out yet and hush). I wound the pick ups and everything! super proud.:cool:

Looks great eh? I used Walnut Timbermate on American white ash and Dingotone Colourless stain with Tru oil top coat
HELP! I used cheap Chinese pot metal string through ferrules. I wanted to replace them with good quality nickel ferrules and well.....I broke them and can't get them out. Anyone got a solution?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cac405241a.jpg

You just need to drive them out from the other side.
You'll need a small punch or an appropriate sized nail as a drift pin. Since they're already stuffed, the pin/punch doesn't need to have a flat tip.
Yeah, small pin drift from T’other side is your best bet.
...and it requires an inappropriate tool for the task.Quote:

thanks heaps guys. I'll give that a go. Yes, I'll never use these again. Luckily the nickel replacements are bigger in diameter so if I had to drill them out I'd be okay.
Nah that's a big nope guys, I'll have to drill them out.
Wow, did you use a crap tonne of superglue or something when you put them in?Quote:

I install mine with a tiny drop of PVA applied with a toothpick. They never come loose, but pop right out with a couple of light taps from the top if I need to remove them.
Hi McCreed. I don't usually use any glue to put them in. in fact I usually put a dab of wax to slide em in just in case I wanted to remove them. Normal ferrules have a ribbed side, but these cheaper ones did not. the metal is extremely weak now i have to wait until tomorrow to fix grrrrr
All fixed!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c7c14e391.jpg
