Definition:
Little bits of frame material that fall inside the frame as the string holes are drilled. This material is normally removed, but when a few bits remain, it creates an annoying rattle. Sometimes the bits can be removed through the butt cap or by removing the grommet strip and shaking them through the string holes.
