What would I call wire clips on Amazon?
So my wiring clips on my new Martin Dreadnought Junior fell off during shipping...
While I see these on stewmac: http://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and...ngIaAioC8P8HAQ Does anyone know what these things are actually called (on Amazon or such)? The shipping on these things from stewmac cost more than the item itself. Figured I'd ask before biting the bullet

I was looking for something more like the stewmac ones - adhesive backing with a thin metal strip I can bent around the cables themselves. Most of the ones on amazon (and there are alot) gear towards computer cable and the like, so I don't know if the 'hole' would be too big or that the clip itself might be too bulky and affect tone

simplest thing in the world to make yourself ...all you need is an aluminum drinks can, a roll of double sided adhesive tape (or foam) , and a pair of scissors.

"self adhesive aluminum wire clips" turned up this, amongst many other results...

Home Depot sells several different self-adhesive cable management options. All of them are light-weight and will work. If you don't have access to Home Depot, other building supply stores will likely sell them, as might some electronics stores.

Do you need new clips or just some new double-sided tape for the old clips? Try double-sided sponge tape, which has a strong adhesive. The same material is sometimes sold as "mounting squares", which you can cut with scissors.

@Ned - that is a crap ton of clips...
@murrmac - that's a really interesting an neat idea...I may attempt that route... This is probability splitting hairs (or maybe it's actually super important)...but where do you ideally mount this clips inside the body? Is it along the sides (if so what region?)? My gut is to say avoid taping it to the top or the back
