I couldn’t find any recommended way to install the sting ferrules, but they went in relatively easy with a little persuasion from the handle of the screwdriver…hitting them no harder than I’d “shlappa da bass” imitating Flea back in the 90’s.
Chicka chicka bow...
Now I’m installing the tuning pegs. A lot of people in the forums recommend using a screw wax (insert any number of jokes here), But I’m just using my wife’s lip balm partly because it’s here and partly because it’s kind of cool and alternative… Sort of like Eddie Vedder just chillin in a city park in Seattle circa 1991; y’know, before things blew up.
I have read horror stories about these small screws breaking into the wood if they’re not lubed up, so you’ll need to scrounge up some lip balm!
