depending on what you are shimming here are a few options. 1. home depot or lowes actually sell different sized shems according to there thickness just ask someone in lumber and they should be able to direct you to them. 2. your guitar picks come in all different thickness's so you can cut and trim them to the size you need to shim whatever your working on.

Hi,A very simple, easy and useful out - black BIC razors http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/117854392/BIC.jpgGet BIC round-black razors, cut around 1,5 cm long tops, shape them out, use rubber-glue internally, dry and then place them onto the pots... that's the best solution and costs nothing. Good luck!

Remember that while in tuner mode, the audio output is disabled. Try additional presses of the tuner button to see if the audio comes back on. Also verify the volume and EQ gains are turned up. Verify the battery is new.

Call Ibanez customer service. I am sure they would gladly help you out with your dilemma in consideration of the JS's authenticity. They should be able to tell you where and when your guitar was made. I know of a few luthiers that create awesome stringed instruments, one in Israel and one in Vegas whom produce some very pricey instruments which makes me wonder why you think it may not be the real deal. I know they command a huge amount of money for their craftsmanship, so if someone had the skill to fake one why not sell your own? Hit me back about your concerns.rockinbadboy-

If the sound you when plugging in the headphones is coming from the main speaker, it is just the interupt contacts on the headphones are making or breaking contacts. This can be a good sign if there is volume to it.Make sure the plugs you are using are the right length for jacks in the Ibanez as there are 5 lengths in use.. If this just developed, the length issue is not a concern. If the jacks are loose, snug them down, it may be a faulty ground relying on the chassis contact with the jack.. It may be a broken wire. It can also be a dirty switch contact or dirty level control, especially the standby switch. make sure they are clean with some contact cleaner. Make sure your level is turned up too, If you have effects, or a preamp on the guitar, make sure they have fresh batteries or good power connections and are not on mute.

Take it in for setup. Likely the truss rod or the bridge is out of adjustment. Wrong strings can also cause the problem. There are YouTube videos on guitar setup... I would NOT attempt truss rod adjustment yourself.
