Ball-End Guitar String Ring in Copper

Ball-ends are the little metal bead at the end of a guitar string. Its purpose is to anchor the string to the body of the guitar. They most often are left unpainted and are made from brass or stainless steel, but some manufactures chose to paint the brass ball-ends a color.
