Question about thimbles - Bumblefoot model

Hey!

I noticed on a picture of the Bumblefoot model that there are thimbles stacked on it in different sizes so I assume you get a few thimbles with the guitar if you buy it. For me with a very small thin pinky, the thimbles I currently own aren't very good. When I put them on my pinky finger it falls off very easily... and the ones I have are sized 'small'

I asked Ron Thal during a guitar lesson with him, but he said didn't use a specific type so he didn't really know...

So what I'm asking is where these that come with the Bumblefoot model are made or bought?
I got a Sufreter Supra in Urban Blue finish that is supposed to be sent from France to Norway in about 10 days. Would it be possible to send a few thimbles with the guitar?

Sorry if I'm asking annoying questions! Really looking forward to the guitar!

- Mats

When I tried to use a thimble, it was too big. So what I did was to put some putty (called Blu Tac) in it, on one side to make it fit better. I bet you could easily go to a sewing shop and try some out. They are very cheap.

Hello!I've thought of stuffing something into the thimble to make it fit better, but obviously I'd prefer one that fits without modification so I just wanted to ask here and see what replies I got.Sewing shops are rare where I live.. I'd have to travel into the city which I don't do often... The ones I have were bought there too..
