Truss Rod Covers

[Woody Sound]

Let's do away with them.

[Doctor Jeff]

Oh come on…they’re sometimes the most interesting part of the guitar!

[John A.]

Let's do away with them.

Or just mandate one screw at the top and a shape that allows it to be rotated open.

[sgosnell]

It's not difficult to remove them. There is no law that I know of that requires them to be in place, and you can see many well-known guitarists playing without one.

Eastman John Pisano models have magnetic truss rod covers.

[Jimmy Mack]

My new 335 came with an extra one in with the case candy!

Maybe may favorite things we ever did were the Gosling and Loon TRC's that we cooked up with the folks at Gurian.

Here's the Loon

Legendary session men Bobby Gibbons and Tonight Show guitarist Bob Bain

The AR is for Allen Reuss the great rhythm guitarist
All on Gibson L-5's

I didn't like the pointy plastic one on my Collings, so I did do away with that one, for a while. But then I made one from BRW, and it accents everything else very nicely. I considered a little inlay on it, but I think I like it just like this.

There has to be more than one person out there who collects them. Cheaper to collect than the actual guitars.

I especially like the Strat. Minimalistic and functional.

Does anybody happen to have an extra cover for a Gretsch Historic Series guitar?

That's what I mean! Just another useless part. A rosettte is useless, but at least it's perm attached.
