The Knarled Edge ferrules turn up fairly often on guitar made in the far east rather then in the USA (which seem to use the Smooth edged version with more regularity) - exactly the same principle but the knarlled edge have "teeth" around the barrel section to help them grip the body more efficiently.

Ferrules are a fairly basic piece of hardware once you look into them; they are simply small metal “cups” which hold the ball end of the string in place as it is fed through the back of the guitar.

The advantages compared to a “string though top” setup are pretty wide ranging, but the main attraction is that they allow the strings movement to resonate more efficiently through the wood of the guitars body, giving a much more honest tone to the sound, really emphasising that classic Tele® snap and twang that has proven so popular in recent decades.

Just like with the SW-3s, we're selling these saddles singly - we know that they're not the cheapest things in the world, and if you just need to get a Gotoh bridge up and running again, this is a fantastic way to do it with the minimum of expense.

Designed for a Vintage Telecaster® Bridge and a great part to put that finishing touch on your Tele®. First introduced in the early 50's , where most ended up as portable ashtrays for the gigging musician, the early models had a distinctive solder drop or solder mark on the inner face due the fact that a wire was attached during the electro-plating process. The later models have no such mark because the plating process moved onto specially designed racks.
