Toddg Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Got a guy wanting to trade an '84 Explorer for my Taylor T5. I was all set to make the trade, and I noticed the truss rod cover. I know there's some back and forth on 2 and 3 hole Gibson covers, but does anyone know for sure what was used on an 84 Explorer? His has a 3 hole and I can't find any examples of a 3 hole Gibson Explorer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old guy Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 You need to post some photos. Usually Gibson has 2 screws in the truss rod cover. Look at the bridge post, there should not be flat screw driver slots in them. If it it has them, than that is a Chinese bridge and a fake Gibson. Take the truss rod cover off and look at the truss rod nut, it should be a hex head, if it takes an Allen Wrench, then it is fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
