DonCarlos Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi Brand new here. Just got my first new Gibson. Wow. I am trying to find an extra truss rod cover to have engraved locally with my wife's name. So far I am only finding covers that are solid black and not having the white outline around the black edge, like this J45MC. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance. I look forward to reading posts at this forum and yes I am excited by my purchase. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayla Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 If you just want a blank truss rod cover, check with StewMac. You can order specially engraved ones from Custom Inlay, Nichols Guitars, or Shark Inlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanfender Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Your local Guitar Center should have a genuine Gibson truss rod cover replacement part in stock. I know I saw some at the one in Charleston, SC the other day. Also check Musicians Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The first time I read this, I thought it said "with my new wife's name." I was thinking it was a good thing you're only engraving the truss rod cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWilson Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I put one of these on my J-45 : http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Truss-Rod-Cover-with-Screws-Blank?sku=360913 I thought the stock one looked thin and cheap. It appeared to be "stamped' out. The two-tone black with white border has a nice bevel to it and just looks better. It's hard to tell in this photo because of the whit background but it does have the white border. They have gone up in price but they are a Gibson part and look great.
