Dave1963 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi all, newb here from the UK. I have a 2002 LP Traditional, which I bought secondhand. It is stunning and plays like a dream after a proper set-up. I have a minor issue though....The truss rod plate is faded so badly, all the lettering has come off. I searched high and low in the UK and had to settle for a Standard one, which looks great, but is obviously incorrect. Does anyone have any ideas where I might get a replacement from? Many thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1963 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 I just got one for my LP Trad Pro II. It says Traditional, on ebay is where I found mine. If you want Standard, there are lots of them. Thanks, I will look again. I have a standard one for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just FYI, the Traditional came out in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1963 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Therein lies the problem. Small telephone Touchscreens and fat fingers.....Its a 2012.... Thanks for spotting and correcting me. I will figure out how to use these things one day, without typing nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Buy a blank. Have it engraved with wherever you want. Band name, favorite artist, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1963 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 I just want an original, but can't find one in the UK. Seen one in the US for $20 plus $8.50 post. Might run with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 These kinds of truss rod covers pop up from time to time on eBay & Co., such as this one. You just gotta keep looking if you want an original one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have still has the lettering visible, but it looks like the muppet who owned it before tried to clean it a bit too vigorously... I did ask a signwriting company to take a look at it, but they wanted silly money (£150.00ish) and my hands just are not steady enough to paint it myself. I will keep looking. I am surprised I just can't buy one from Gibson though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
