I used your technic this afternoon, worked like a charm on my Telecaster. Thanks a lot.

First-time amateur luthier here, I had to drop me two cents. I'll be honest my experience wasn't as 100% smooth as this video but I would still say it worked like a charm and there's no damage to my beautiful custom Walnut Warmoth strat body. Just go slow, take your time and be patient. I also shielded the surround finish with a soft cloth out of an abundance of caution. First time building a guitar let alone sinking ferrules. The smallest tasks can often be the most challenging thanks SO much for the pro hack.

[@gugarl]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@nicholas_james]

All demonstration videos should be this succinct! I'm going out to my garage right now to heat up my cheap-o iron. Thanks for the guidance.

[@gugarl]

Thanks, Nicholas. Best regards.

[@frankfaga]

Few things work this well. Brilliant

[@gugarl]

Thank you!

[@kommi1974]

Worked great on my Warmoth build. Took all of two minutes. Flawless!

[@gugarl]

That's great!

[@deltarider99]

Same here! Went right in my Warmoth Strat without issue. Thank you!!

[@PulpDesigns]

This was the comment that made me confident to try this on my Warmoth, thanks for posting!

[@taylormichael3532]

Wow!! That was an awesome trick!! Just finished and took me about 10 minutes. Thanks

[@gugarl]

That's great to hear!

[@vishyoutubevideos]

That is fantastic. I just tried it on all 12 of my ferrules. Worked great. I did have a little bit of the lacquer run on the front side ferrules. But, nothing major. It cleaned up.

[@gugarl]

Great to hear. Thanks!

[@matthew80127]

Used this trick tonight on an alder Strat body: worked perfectly! Each one went in flush. I was worried about not using glue, but they look/feel solid in there

[@gugarl]

The heat will mealt the finish and glue the ferrules.

[@johnnyo3478]

Worked like a champ. Couple of minutes. Thanks!

[@gugarl]

Great to hear!

[@kenq7948]

Just did this and it worked like a charm. Thumbs up for the great tip !

[@gugarl]

Great to hear!

[@walterkersting1362]

Tasty little number there, love the use of the scratch or muff or whatever it’s called, sounds tough!

[@gugarl]

Thanks!

[@walterkersting1362]

Gustavo Rocha Leite so the reason I was watching in the first place was my tele kit came with no grommets for throughbody strings, and I just set it up like that and thought I’d do it later, but now I’ve seen a vid that says there’s no difference.

[@stevet1578]

Worked like a charm, thank you!

[@harleyrider9166]

I used a rubber mallet. Took 5 minutes. Worked great

[@jesseburch7063]

So I bought a Jazzmaster body that is drilled out for everything and just got my Fender ferrules. The ferrules drop in with ease, but unfortunately they drop right back out too. The body is spray painted if that helps... Any ideas?

[@SithTracy]

This worked great! Thanks for the tip!

[@gugarl]

Great to hear that.

[@howlinguts]

Yep, worked a treat for me too, thanks dude.

[@gugarl]

That's great to hear.

[@Trig242]

Great tip! Thanks a million

[@gugarl]

Great to hear.

[@bigrickshaberdashery2759]

nice little trick

[@gugarl]

Thanks.

[@michaeljustice124]

Nice trick! I’m a little puzzled though. High School science class teaches us that heat expands metal and cold contracts. You would think freezing them would be the answer...

[@andreeadobre3190]

I think the point is to transfer heat into the wood to make it a little more flexible.

[@gugarl]

Yes, phisics never lie, right. The trick here is the finish that wil melt down.

[@gugarl]

Thanks

[@juliancarrion514]

You're the man

[@stephenlarcovic9654]

How do you get the holes in back of body? What size drill bit? Thanks!

[@gugarl]

Stephen, I got it already drilled. But the drill bit will depend on ferrule size.

[@trevorclarey3336]

great idea.

[@gugarl]

Thanks!

[@reclavea]

Great tip! What is the great music?

[@gugarl]

Thanks, Ron. The song is "Carmel Shades from Silent Partner". Please, check at video description for other videos. Best regards.

[@davidtegelaar8849]

Nice idea. Thanks!

[@gugarl]

Thanks, David.

[@stewartparker2063]

Its a good tip! But if possible I’d always prefer to get the ferrules flush with the body.

[@gugarl]

Thanks.

[@frankrussell4664]

There are two types of ferrules - flush-fit and flanged. For a flush ferrule...you guessed it.

[@kommi1974]

These are flanged, not flush.

[@markrup6369]

This is crazy. I would have thought the heat would EXPAND the ferrule, making it slightly larger in diameter. How does this work??

[@gugarl]

You're right, but the hot iron will also melt the finish.

[@Juampi1975]

Gracias , y para quitarlos sería del mismo modo??con el soldador??

[@gugarl]

Si, para derreter lo óleo.

[@bradh6185]

How do I remove ferrules?

[@gugarl]

Take a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4XPZoR_q6aWmbs

Music is annoying and loud!! Turn your sound off or you’ll blow your ears out if your using ear plugs.
