Location: Minden, Nebraska | I'm cleaning out an old parts box and found a new condition owners manual for a Viper (acoustic electric, not the old electric model). It must have been from one of my Vipers 'back in the day' which are long gone.
To the point: if someone needs this and will supply me postage, I'll mail it. It'll fit in a regular first class envelope.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Hi, Paul. Good to see you are still alive. What else you got in that old parts box? I guess I've got plenty of old parts that need replacing, but most of them are still attached. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Me, too, my mine would require an orthopedic surgeon. Most of my stuff is little Fender and Gibson pieces. The Ovation items are minor, like dozens of bridge shims! I've got a metal case logos for the older style black cases. And I have a set of white pearl tuner knobs.
I hope things are well in Idaho, and know that even there a good attorney is always in demand. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Noah - what do you need? The shim size differs with the pickup/bridge saddle size, as I reckon you know. |

Location: SoCal | The other day, I was searching for different thickness shims to go under an O'High Output (doesn't the OCP use the same routing?). I never really thought about different size O shims... High Output, Slimline, Mando. Usually I take them out and lose them. This is what I encountered the other day in a recently acquired EA63... cardboard packaging from strings.

I bet that will sound MUCH better if you put a piece of credit card or something equally dense in there.
Paper is just too soft. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I've got shims that will fit that slot. You can get them from the Ovation shop, too. I certainly agree that almost anything will make that pickup sound better than that paper. |

Hi, OMA. Not sure how sarcastic you were being. Credit cards? |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Cutting up credit cards is usually a good idea (necessary, if you are a Dave Ramsey disciple) so might as well put those pieces to good use. |

Credit card material, or something similar.
Don't you hang-on to your expired credit/bank cards? Hospital cards, Library cards...
Go to Subway... They usually have their "gift cards" right out on the counter and will let you have one for nuthin'.
(they ain't worth anything unless they are activated)
But that is really good material for shims.

Location: SoCal | Credit cards make great shims, but I was looking for different thicknesses to tweak with. Then at the next string change, I'll make a shim out of hardwood. |
