Question

Removing neck ferrules...HALP!


Hey there! My RG370DX project is underway (making it LOOK like an RG750). I have it all apart now except for the AANJ neck ferrules. How the hell do I get them out without destroying the holes? I'm sure it can be done, but how?? HALP!!

Re: Removing neck ferrules...HALP!


Sometimes those ferrules can get stuck in there pretty good. I usually just pry them out with a small flathead or some sort of pick. You have to work slowly and be careful not to damage the surrounding finish. On one particularly bad guitar I had to heat the ferrules with a soldering iron, pop them up slightly with a pick, then pull them out the rest of the way with a pair of needle nose pliers. It's easy to damage the finish on the ferrules doing something like this, so be prepared to buy new ones if you want them to look pristine.
