Location: seattle, wa | where can I get a set of bridge shims for an old (1985) country artist a/e...action is low and very east to fret but I think it is effecting the volume/projection when played w/o amp |

(if you don't have one, go to Subway... They usually have a display on the counter)
Yeah, they generally only come in one thickness...
But look in your wallet for Health Care cards, high-end business cards, stuff like that.
You can still use the card... You only need to take a bit off of the edge. |

Location: SE Michigan | I have also used the material from plastic milk jugs. It's thinner than a credit card if you need a lower shim and is easy to trim to shape with scissors. The nice things about the factory bake-light shims is you can actually sand them into a wedge shape to have one side higher than the other. |

Location: seattle, wa | thanks for the rapid responses...I used 2 pieces of credit card and my 1674 has regained it's voice. It was really choked off. there were no shims in the bridge at all. the action is still excellent. off topic...I also when to a set of EJ 45's instead of EJ 46's...made it a little softer on the finger tips |
