Help with Neck Shimming

[redwood]

Hey guys,
Quick question: I have an '04 Bongo 5 SHp. The saddle for the G has just about bottomed out. So I am thinking I need to shim the neck.
The question is, should I start with one piece of card stock, how large should I cut it (as in should it extend almost the entire length and width of the neck pocket), and should the neck screws go through the card stock when I install?
And/or, if anyone can direct me to a thread, or instruction on this topic on this site or another, I would greatly appreciate it.

Happy Thump Day,
Jim

On a typical pocket, to accomplish what you are after I would put a shim about 10 thousandths of an inch thick as illustrated (shim is the shaded area):

Thank you oh bretheren of the Great White North.

Also, lots of people use business cards as the shim.
