String ferrules question

[Creepysuitguy]

Hello I am building a tele deluxe and I a going to have the narrow spaced strat bridge so my string through holes will be bigger, they will be 3/16" instead of 1/8" so I am having problems finding ferrules that will fit this size hole, does warmoth not carry them? If they don't where could I find some?

Thanks!

you won't need top ferrules for this bridge. you only need them for TOM with no stopbar. The standard back ferrules should work just fine.

If I'm not mistaken, the ferrule spacing stays the same.  What they do is enlarge the thru-holes so that the slightly "mismatched" spacing relationship of the bridge to the holes (and ferrules) still allows easy stringing.

IOW, its only off by a slight amount.  The center strings would go thru just fine, but the E and E are more offset.  By enlarging the hole, they have enough wiggle room to make it all work.
