Where do you get eyelets?

String ends

Hi, new member here!

Take off the ball from a string and there you have an eyelet.

Well, campy, that's not too good, it doesn't heat up quickly enough, and how do you crimp it in your fiberboard???

Eyelets are made by Keystone Electric. Check the usual electronic distributors, like Allied and Digi-Key and Mouser.

Well, don't really know, just an idea.

Eyelets? They're in the fastener aisle at Home Depot. You can also find them at hobby/craft stores, because they're very popular with scrapbookers.

HD probably doesn't carry the correct kind of eyelet, ones that are intended to be soldered using non-corrosive rosin flux. Keystone eyelets are indended for electronic applications, and are easily soldered.

Eyelets cost nothing, so there is no point in trying to use anything other than the Keystone eyelets.

They are slightly larger than standard Fender eyelets but they work. Guitar Parts USA also sells them, and theirs are probably the correct size.
