SHIM/1026	$14.95

A custom saddle shim kit.

If you've sanded your saddle too low, removed an unwanted pickup, or simply want to raise the action at the saddle, it must be shimmed to the desired position, or the saddle must be replaced with a taller one.

- Shimming your saddle with cardboard, old credit card pieces, guitar strings, plastic strips or any other interesting material is simply not the way to do it correctly.

- Using ebony shims, correctly attached to the bottom of the saddle is the most time-honored method of doing it right, and doing it permanently.

- An instrument with a properly shimmed saddle will suffer NO tonal loss.

- Anything less, and you're sacrificing tone and in some cases the integrity of the instrument.

WHAT THIS KIT CONTAINS:

- (4) ebony strips (.080" x .100" x 3.5" )

- (4) ebony strips (.080" x .125" x 3.5" )

- (1) ebony strip (.080" x .100" x 4.5" ) (for Martin Long Saddles)

- Super Glue & Safety razor

- Full instruction sheet detailing every step of the process with helpful hints.

WHAT THIS KIT DOES:

- It will allow you to easily make shims for a large number of saddles.

- It will save you the expense of replacing a large number of saddles, particularly if the current saddle works well and is only deficient in height. It also provides convenient, pre-cut shims which can be difficult to find and time consuming to make.
