Real wood guitar shims. We've seen cardboard, plastic, even cut up credit cards used as shims on beautiful vintage guitars! Stop using garbage for shims. Commercial shims are very expensive. We offer reasonably priced real wood shims. We have various assorted dark woods and light woods available. We use finely shaved real wood shims in our luthier shop and we chose to make them available for purchase in our store and online. ** These can be trimmed with a good sharp pair of scissors or a blade.

 The size 1/8" is just for reference, some are 1/4". Sizes, shade, grain, thickness, will vary slightly.

The auction is for 10) wood  shims, these are straight non-angled shims.  5) wood nut shims and 5) wood saddle shims.

For each single auction purchase the buyer will receive a total of 10 shims.

These are wafer thin real wood shims. We use rosewood, alder, sapele, rosewood mahogany, spruce, maple and other real woods, depending on what we have available in the shop. They are shaved very thin, rough cut (not square) and not perfect. Some will vary in width, shade, grain, etc. They are about 1/40 to 1/42 of an inch thick. For example, five shims layered together gives a thickness of about 1/8". They can be trimmed to fit your project. If you need a thicker shim, they can be glued together, layered, graduated, and or sanded for your needs.  If you need other sizes, let us know we have various sizes and woods available, check our other listings. We offer koa, rosewood, sapele mahogany neck shims for your projects.
