    Simon - Forgot to add - If you find one then let me know and I'll reimburse you towards the cost of it - Just seen on another forum that they say allparts have them on their site 

    But that link from above - I'm not sure that is the real mccoy - maybe @icbm can help on this, but I thought they looked more like this

    I don’t have any, sorry - just a lot of standard ‘poker chip’ type ones.

    If I could think of a sensible way of making one smaller...

    Thanks Mark @guitars4you dont worry as its a very minor detail, your right though the one in the link is just a pvc sticker in effect, im sure Gibson used more of a cut down poker chip style as @ICBM suggests...

    I've seen on another forum about this that various players have tried to get one via Gibson, with no joy - Generally more likely to find one on a jazz box - Might be worth trying to contact any jazz box luthiers and see if they use them and can sell you one

    It's actually hard plastic, and dished in the centre. Looks like it will do the job though:
