FenderAmerican Standard Telecaster String Ferrules (6)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A six-piece set of replacement string ferrules for American Standard Telecasters. For anyone restoring worn, missing, or mismatched ferrules on a string-through body.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing corroded or pitted ferrules on an older Telecaster
- Restoring a Tele after a refinish or body swap
- Matching all six when one has gone missing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Telecasters with a top-loading bridge and no string-through holes
- Basses, Stratocasters, or any non-Telecaster body
- Anyone wanting a tone change — these are hardware, not a mod
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
String ferrule
The metal cup at the back of the body that seats the ball end of each string.
Detail 03
American Standard fitment
Sized to the ferrule holes Fender drilled on American Standard Telecaster bodies.
Detail 04
Telecaster body shape
Cut for a string-through-body Tele; a top-load bridge has nowhere to put these.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing ferrule diameter before ordering — hole sizes vary across Fender eras
- 02Old ferrules often need gentle tapping out; have a soft mallet ready
- 03Strings are not included; you will be restringing anyway
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my Mexican or Squier Telecaster?
They are cut for American Standard Telecaster bodies. Other Fender lines can use different ferrule diameters, so measure your existing ones and compare before ordering.
02Do I need six?
A Telecaster string-through body takes one ferrule per string, so six covers the whole guitar. Buying the set keeps the finish consistent across all six.
03How do I get the old ones out?
They press-fit into the body. Push or tap them out from the front through the string holes with a soft punch, then seat the new ones from the back.
04Will this change how the guitar sounds?
No. Ferrules anchor the string ball ends. Replacing worn ones restores solid seating and appearance, not tone.
