Offset inserts... Who makes 'em?
« on: September 09, 2004, 05:02:34 AM »
Are they still being made? Who makes them and do they have a website?  I've been picking my brain and flipping through Google to no avail.

Thanks guys...

A company made finger inserts where the hole was off center.  It allowed for a narrower bridge even when sticking to the standard 1/4" between finger holes.

Wow...I remember using an offset finger grip going back atleast 10 years ago.  They were a odd green color and there was very little meat on one side of the insert.

Other than that I haven't seen anything like you are talking about...but I'll keep my eyes open.

Don't bother...  If they are no longer available I'm no longer interested in them.
