Sure
 I need it badly so I went into making it by myself. Took piece of blanket and glued it to thin piece of plastic( to have it solid when blanket mutes strings). Then I glued it all(with free side of plastic)to piece of lastic. Lastic has poppers on it so I can open dumpener and move it from guitar without going all the way to headstock and stratching lastic too much.

I took elastic material from my mom's,she likes to do some tailor's stuff.
 Snap fasteners,I added them by myself,pin&fibre,now it's me doing tailor's job.  Blanket does all damping and its work depends of how thin/thick it is,absolutely. Once more,THE BEST material for dumping is human skin, like when you use right hand or a single finger. Sadly,I'm missing few corpses lately

That made me chuckle ^.^ Well the material I was using was probably too thin, so I'll try using something a bit thicker Thanks Muris

QUOTE (Spreedmaster @ Apr 1 2008, 11:05 PM) Sorry to tune i so late, but ive been looking for a string damper and I cant seem to find one to buy anywhere, do you have to make it yourself? And were you joking about the skin making a better damper? because I could get some pretty easily!  No need to be sorry at all. I made one by myself,I putted few pictures of it and explained how I did it in this very thread, just check out previous posts. But you can use hair gum as well,many great players like Greg Howe or Guthrie Govan are using simple solution as hair gum. Here is the link where to buy MAB's dampener. Not sure if it's available out of his website tho.
