Philadelphia Luthier Tools & Supplies

We are happy to announce that we have 4 new styles of truss rod covers that are available for custom engraving. There are 2 Epiphone styles, 1 Schecter, and 1 Gibson Historic with the special beveled edge.

Please remember there is no such thing as a standard Epiphone truss rod cover. There are a few Epiphone truss rod cover that look similar but vary slightly in size and mounting hole locations. They are not interchangeable! Check the measurement, available in the description, against your original truss rod cover before ordering. There is no cross-reference that we have available to us.

The Gibson Historic truss rod covers are different then our standard custom engraved truss rod covers. First, they have a special beveled edge that sets it apart from the standard truss rod covers. The engraving on these truss rod covers are not color filled like our other truss rod covers. We chose to use single line engraving to match the type of engraving used in the early Gibson guitars. Because of this engraving process, we are limited to the number of fonts that can be engraved. Please check the description for what it available.

Please visit our website at Philadelphia Luthier Tools & Supplies for all the custom engraved truss rod covers we have available. If you have any questions, please email us at support.

A great way to customize your guitar is to replace the truss rod cover. The most important step is to make sure you get the correct replacement. Measure the center to center hole spacing to confirm the truss rod cover you are ordering will fit.

We are now offering custom engraved truss rod covers for Gibson, Epiphone, PRS, PRS SE, and Ibanez. We will be offering other styles soon. We will also be expanding our line to include aftermarket that are hard to find.

Our goal is to provide the most accurate reproduction at an affordable price. The plastics we are using are as close to the original when possible. Our TRCs are engraved and filled with white acrylic paint. This process makes for very durable engraving that won’t wear out. Gibson truss rod covers are currently hot stamped that looks like engraving and is more like printing. Our engraving process allows us to accommodate the most requests and special designs.

The truss rod covers are made of 2 and 3 ply black/white plastic. The lettering is white but can be in other colors. The truss rod covers are made to order and can be engraved in 7 different fonts. You can have up to 2 lines and up to 20 characters per line (depends of truss rod cover). Please visit our website at Philadelphia Luthier Tools & Supplies. If you have any special requests or questions please contact us at support before ordering.

This is a great way to increase the appeal of your instrument and make it look like a custom guitar!
