I have a couple of ukes with really low action and I was interested in raising that action anywhere from .4-.6mm by shimming the saddle.
If you have shimmed a saddle before, what did you use to shim it with? I don't want to have to buy anything so I'd want to use something that would commonly be laying around the house. Maybe a business card? A playing card? An index card? Should I be seeking out something plastic rather than paper or wouldn't it matter?
Would raising the action in this manner by .4-.6mm make a noticeable change in volume or would it have no effect at all on the volume?
