Truss rod covers can be engraved with almost any standard Windows font (ie. Truetype or Openfont). Fonts that will work best have simple and clean lines. Before you specify a font for an order you need to get permission from us first. We want to verify it will engrave properly. It would also help if you would include a link or attach the actual .ttf file to your email. We will not use any font that needs to be purchased by us.

A few good resources for free fonts are www.dafont.com, www.fonts101.com, and www.fontpark.net. All three sites give you the ability to preview the fonts, using your text, before downloading. This is very helpful when trying to find the perfect font!

If you have any additional questions please contact us via email at support@philadelphialuthiertools.com.

This is a common question. The truss rod covers that we offer on our website are pre-made to fit popular guitar models. You can email us at support@philadelphialuthiertools.com with the make and model of your guitar. It would also help to include a picture or link of a similar truss rod cover. We do have many templates on file that can be used. A few things will happen next:

1. We send you a pdf for your approval.
2. You send us your original truss rod cover to copy. The original will be returned with your order.

We can work with a trace but prefer to work with the original truss rod cover. Working with the original allows us to ensure the end product will fit your guitar perfectly.

The charge for this service is $24.99+ plus shipping.   Price depends on the complexity of the job.

Here are some pictures of truss rod covers we have made for customers in the past. Enjoy!
