Hey Gang!

The other day while I had "Blue Lou" apart, I popped the neck off to see how an aftermarket neck might fit and found a couple of paper shims. I wasn't suprised by this but I am a bit curious. After reading about having a clean neck pocket to improve tone and reasonance (sp?), having paper in there seems counter-intuitive.

So, here's the question: Try and level the the neck pocket (hard), replace paper with appropriately sized brass shim stock (easy), or just put 'em back in and forget I ever saw them (apathy)?

Any thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!
