Location: Keller, TX | As noted in a different thread, I have been experimenting with the action on my Elite. I initially took out one of the shims, adjusted the truss rod, then eventually the other shim out. It killed the sound. So I put one shim back in. That has helped, but now I want to put the other one back in, but can't find where I put it.
Does anyone have a shim for a OPP they can toss in the mail? |

I've done this to set action between the thicknesses of the shims provided with the guitar. Strip styrene works pretty well.
