mooboo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey everyone! I have a 98 CL-30 Deluxe with the headstock below.. I'm looking for a place to buy a truss rod cover that says "Deluxe" on it. Any idea where to get one? I asked sweetwater if they could help me out but never got a response. Thanks!

Bluemoon Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Did Gibson ever produce them with "deluxe" on them? If so, give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slogold Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ebay is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 As Bluemoon suggested, I would try contacting Gibson. Also, you can get your existing cover engraved by a place that does that kind of stuff. I did that with an SG I used to own around 25 years ago by taking the cover to the local shopping mall and going to one of those kiosks that sells cheesy crap like key rings that they'll engrave for you.

Tim Plains Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm sure I've seen a TRC with "Deluxe" on it before. Try eBay or another Gibson dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The Les Paul Deluxe had a "Deluxe" cover, so they're out there. I don't recommend using this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/1971-GIBSON-LES-PAUL-DELUXE-TRUSS-ROD-COVER_W0QQitemZ110445585646QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item19b711e4ee Nothing wrong with it... except the obvious.

gearbasher Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 My '95 SJ-45 Deluxe has a Deluxe cover. So, more recent ones exist. I second the ebay suggestion. One will eventually come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Buy a blank one. Take it to one of those places that makes office signs using the same method. The trick might be for them to make a jig to hold the TRC firmly in place while they rout out the 'Deluxe. Those places, I don't know what to call them. "Sign Shop," maybe? The one in our town also makes things like engraved metal name plates for trophies, and rubber stamps. Save the original for posterity. Might have to buy a couple in case they muck on up. Also... they may do it with the caviat that they aren't resposible for mucking up the plate... if they do it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Seems like my father took the TRC off his J100 and took it to the local laminated sign place and they did it. He wanted it to say "J-100" in western type stagecoach lettering. I can't recall. That thing has been languishing in his music room for over a decade now.

mooboo Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks guys! I contacted custominlay and also Sweetwater. Sweetwater said Gibson won't sell those type of covers because they have a big problem with fakes. Not really sure to what extent that constitutes not selling em but who knows. I'll keep a look out on the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 It's been a few months. If you haven't found one yet. http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-LES-PAUL-DELUXE-TRUSS-ROD-COVER-GUITAR-PARTS_W0QQitemZ300406271481QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item45f19bedf9 I can't remember what I had for lunch, but I remembered someone looking for a truss rod cover.

RASHARU Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Any local trophy shop can engrave your blank TRC. Make sure they do the lettering "thick" enough to look good. (take them a picture of what you want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
