Happy new year gang,
just purchased a new 75th anniversary commemorative edition Telecaster and have noticed that the 6 rear string ferrules are not flush with the body. Q is, should they be flush with the body.? Mine not being flush are sticking out about 1mm. I have seen numerous tube videos where luthiers have slightly countersunk the hole so the ferrules sit flush.
No big problem for me, but did Fender not do the flush fitting due to time consumption and get this or all new Telecasters out the door. I bet if it was a MB it would of been done.
Cheer’s,
Anthony.
