Thread: Wedge/Spacer Materials

I have been cutting my teeth on wood scales, mistakes are cheaper. But i think a non-wood wedge/spacer would look much better.

What kind of materials are commonly used and are most available in local shops(lowes/ace/home depot/hobby shops/etc...).

Any precautions to working with any of these materials, other than general safety?

Thanks.

ooh. interesting and cheap. I wonder if anyone other that music shops sell these.

I wonder what the guy at guitar center will think when i go looking.

You can use semi precious stones too. Bevansmw did a good write up here, http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...e-spacers.html, of how he did it. I thought they looked amazing & keep meaning to have a go. I don't think it'd get expensive & there are so many variations you could try.
