I've been wondering about ferrules anyway.

Do they actually add anything to the twang of a telecaster? I'm building a frankenstein tele to try different things in search of the source of twang.

How about if I do away with ferrules altogether and just have a brass plate (sunk into the wood on the back of the body) with six small holes drilled in it.

Has anybody tried this? Will the pressure of six strings pulling that brass plate give better contact with the wood and lead to more twang?

Or have I just gone totally mad?
