guitar4choice Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi guys! I'm from Italy and i have bought a gibson sg reissue '61! It's the best guitar i have never played but i have a little question about its truss rod cover because my guitar has the SG logo but i have always seen this logo on the truss rod cover of the SG standard. Why does my sg reissue has not an all black truss rod cover like every sg reissue '61? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It should have a black with white edge trusrod cover, matching the pickguard. Did you buy the guitar new? If not then maybe the previous owner placed it on. If it's new maybe someone at the factory was having some fun or they ran out of regular covers.

T50 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 looks genuine to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedCarrot Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Looks like mine, except my truss rod cover is blank and does not say SG. I'm guessing someone swapped yours? I think I like the SG one better than the plain one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar4choice Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Gibson Europe says that probably was an involuntary error and they can send me a black truss rod cover as courtesy. I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiderash Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Fabiano, I have a 2001 Gibson SG '61 reissue, and mine also says "SG" on the truss rod cover. I also wondered why mine said "SG" because I never saw any other '61 reissues like that. So. I'm very glad to hear that yours has this too! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar4choice Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Raiderash with the guitar i have received only the pre-pack checklist and finalpack checklis and the gibson booklet. Did you received anything else?For example a small black sheet with gibson logo, "quality controlled by, date, model, serial"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderash Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 No, I did not receive any black sheet....I only received the Gibson booklet, Gibson Gold Warranty, and the separate card containing the signed Pre-Pack checklist and signed Final pack checklist. But that card also has the date (left blank), model #, and serial # on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar4choice Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 So did you receive this one? I did not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiderash Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nope, I never got that. Is it important? It doesn't seem to contain any data that I don't already have on the pre-pack and final-pack checklists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar4choice Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't think it is important. Guys can you post a picture of the left side of your hardcase? I want to see if it is like mine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopper Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi guys!I'm from Italy and i have bought a gibson sg reissue '61! It's the best guitar i have never played but i have a little question about its truss rod cover because my guitar has the SG logo but i have always seen this logo on the truss rod cover of the SG standard. Why does my sg reissue has not an all black truss rod cover like every sg reissue '61? Thanks! The SG reissue does not have Standard on the trust rod cover because when it came out in 61 it was the SG not SG standard It became Known as the standard later because it set the standard for further SG models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
