Dallastx Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I thought about changing my cover from SG to the Standard cover for the Les Paul. I'm guessing they are the same size? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D It depends what era you want to evoke. Gibson puts "Les Paul" truss rod covers on their "historical" SGs, but SGs with a Lyre or "Maestro" vibrato should have a plain truss rod cover. The Les Paul cover would be appropriate on the SG's with the ancient sideways vibrato, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Which SG "Standard" do you own? '61 Reissue (small pickguard, wider/deeper beveling), or "Batwing"(Pickguard) model...which usually had either a plain TRC, or (later) "SG" TRC. The "Les Paul" Truss Rod Cover was used from '61, until sometime in '63, when the factory exhausted it's supply. Les Paul's "endorsement" deal, with Gibson expired in '62, but the factory used the "Les Paul" TRC's until they ran out of them. The Lyre/Maestro vibrola was introduced on the SG in '62, but there were "transitional" instruments, with either the sideways vibrola of '61, or the new Lyre, at the time. Some early '62's had sideways vibrola's, some had Lyre/Maestro's. However, it's Your guitar...use whatever TRC you want...plain, or "Les Paul!"

sellen Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Dallastx got a ebony Batwing PG SG standard if i remember correctly. And he wants to put on a TRC that says Standard, like on the LP Standard. Like you say Dallastx i guess it would fit, but i ain't 100% certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah, the Gibson "Bell" TRC's are all the same size (hole to hole). Should easily fit. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
