Doc B Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My Squier VM Jazz pimping is well under way but I've decided that I'd like to fit a thumb-rest just in front of the bridge pickup (i.e. between the pup and the scratch plate) as that is the playing position I use most and find most comfortable. From what I've seen the size of thumb rests that are normally available 'off the shelf' would be too long to fit where I want. Do any of you know of anyone who will make me a nice wooden thumb rest that would go where i want. Kiain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I had a ramp fitted by Jon Shuker. He did a nice job of getting it to match with the body as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc B Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Cheers - that's a good idea - I'll need to find someone up here (Glasgow area) to make one though. Either that or I'll see if I can drop in on Mr Shuker when I'm holidaying in the peaks this September. Out of interest - how much did yours cost?

Buzz Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well, it's only a Squier VM, so as long as it's functional I'd make one myself. Probably use maple to match the body (if you've got a clear one), or perhaps shape a small bit of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
