Didn't you find that this feindish thingy throws the guitar out of tune when you pull the octave strings down?

John: While this may not be the only source, you can get guard stock from Leathertone that is less than a 32nd of an inch thick. So it is possible should you wish to go that route.

You can also pick up .015" (1/64") thick black rigid vinyl in a "hair cell" texture from most commercial plastics suppliers. It's pretty cheap, slips under the pwhite guards, and can be cut with scissors or an X-Acto knife.

As I mentioned in another related thread, I played a 456/12 JG a while back and I was duly impressed how nice the guitar played with and without strings engaged. Cool indeed!
