Can anybody point me to a decent tutorial on shimming? My '76 had a shim when I got it, and it played noticably better than it does now, but lacked some sustain and all-around tone...first time I pulled the neck, there was a square of thick metal mesh that looked like it came from a screen door in the pocket! I know my '76 needs a refret, but it's gonna be a while before I can afford it, so I'm thinking a better shim might help in the meantime...
