Changing a pickup on my tele, realised while restringing that this "thing" is long gone, up the robo-hoover and off to the dump.

I'm pretty sure it's a "ferrule", but that's also the name of the yoke that guides/holds the strings through the body of the guitar.

I'm trying to buy a replacement and find out more info about correct fitting and measurements, but it's very hard when you don't know what it's called...

Cheers..xx

That's the kind of thing you'll either have to buy a set of 6 tuning pegs or you'll find in a hardware shop

Not helpful answer:

My SG is missing one of those for years.

Would the robo hoover have had the power to suck it up?
Could be worth ringing some guitar stores that do maintenance, never know they might have boxes of spare rainy day components.

I think "ferrule" is correct

It appears to be called a bushing.

You want these, as you appear to have vintage style tuners

I might actually have some of these, as I retrofitted vintage style tuners into other guitars and needed different bushings that what came with the tuners

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of :-/

Yeah it's pretty hungry when it wants to be.
