gypsyseven Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi everyone, i need a black trussrod cover for my Valensi Riviera! To be honest i don't really like the white stock one and i don't need someone elses name on my guitar... I know there are many suppliers out there but i didn't found one without high shipping costs to Germany... Maybe someone got one spare or knows where to get one... I already bought one for a Casino on ebay, but it didn't fits.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd suggest going to a local (area) trophy shop, and have them make you one. You could show them the Casino version, for a template, and have it drilled (or lengthened?, whatever) to fit the Riviera. Those shops usually have multi-ply plastics, to be engraved, or shaped, into name plates, etc. I'm sure they could make you one, at a reasonable cost. IF you can't find the actual TR cover, any other way. Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 FWIW - I ran into the same problem & couldn't find one anywhere. I ended up taking the Valensi name off of mine with rubbing alcohol. Then I swapped it with the TRC from my '04 Korean Peerless Casino. A perfect fit for both. The Valensi looks much better with the black TRC and "E" logo, while the pure white TRC from the Valensi looks great alongside the white pickguard on the Casino. Maybe you can find someone with a Casino who'd be willing to swap, but as you've already learned, they're not all the same size so you'll need to do a direct comparison.
