Location: Reading, PA | Has anyone fabricated or experimented with the standard bridge shims? Would there be any benefit to changing the taper or using one solid shim instead of two?

Location: NJ | do a search on bridge shims I am positive some one fashioned one out of wood to make a more "solid" connection between the pickup and body, I am not so sure if it would make that significant of a difference |

Location: Bloomfield Ct | Yes, By all means fabricate a solid shim to adjust the string action. Several folks do just that. No "HUGE" benefit, but worth the time. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I have whittled a few of them out of popcicle sticks - no kidding. Lots of trial and error involved. Dave
PS - And while I'm a whittlin' away, momma plays the jug and sister/daughter/2nd wife plays the spoons. |
