Does anyone know how to make them? My late friend James Morehead knew, but he passed before he could work on my guitar. I have a machinist and a welder friend, but need a design.

Here is what I used John, they are from a 6139 design but seem to work good on this guitar.

JK,
I gotta admit that it never has bothered me. Unoticeable really. I think it's in the way you play, Listen to early Lloyd. Can you tell?

Steelers weren't so picky in the old days.
I started out on a fingertip and it sure didn't bother me any.
