Gibson Ripper front ferrules

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm rebuilding/restoring a 73 Ripper, and things are looking fantastic so far. The front string ferrules had split and were pushing into the wood. The ferrules I'm describing are on the face of the Ripper, directly under the bridge. I've pulled them and need replacements. I've searched high and low to no avail. Anyone have any idea where I can find replacements? Thanks!

I found some grommets/eyelets that worked very well for those top ferrules at a sewing notions shop nearby. You might want to check some art supply shops as well.
