Absolutely no fekin way I'm going to pay $42 & shipping from guitar parts for a couple of shims. Looking for options for homemade ones. I'm thinking neoprene or similar material.... Any thoughts? Cheers.

Be careful that it doesn't react with the finish...

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Finish is satin poly, so would this still be an issue?

Do you think these could be 3D printed?

Absolutely, but my worry is do you need something with a bit of spring in it?
