Truss Rod Covers

simppa9 · 03-08-2008, 01:56 PM

Hey guys, my first post on these forums so I'll start with a simple question.
I'm customizing my friend's Epi Les Paul Standard, and since I work at an engraving shop I was gonna engrave his name on a blank Gibson Truss Rod Cover. So my question is: do the Gibson truss rod covers fit on an Epi???

Thanks!

Or you could buy a small sheet of matreial,pick guard ? same thickness as the rod cover and make your own cover or covers maybe cheaper in case you screw up the ingraving do not know. use the original as a template.
