roger the dodger Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi, I have just bought a lp off ebay. On looking at the headstock I have noticed that at sometime there was once a oblong truss rod cover with 4 screw holes, also the pattern appears to be lifting behind the top cover both making me think its not genuine. Ita a 82 custom, Nashville according to serial no. Can anyone help. Many thanks. rodger the dodger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossroadsnyc Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 4 screws on your TRC? Oh no ... I don't like where I'm afraid this is heading. We'll definitely need pictures, but your description leaves pause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight959 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Headstock is correct. The TRC has been replaced. There may have been a more personal badge plate or TRC before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
