Custom engraved truss rod covers. Anyone know a good source?

Post by Telenator » Tue Dec 09, 2008 8:24 pm

I need to have a Les Paul truss rod cover custom engraved. Anyone know a good source for this?

An internet search turned up custom inlay, but nothing definitive on engraving.

Telenator, if you would like the plastic black-white laminated engraved, contact me via PM.  My dad has a laser-engraving business and can do that stuff.  I can send his contact info if you are interested.
Isn't it sad.... I'm immune?

LOL! I love it! Unfortunately, I went to great lengths to carve a hearty volute into the back of my neck to prevent just such an occurance!

Between the big volute and the 3/32" ebony peghead veneer, I seriously doubt the one will ever break!

Thanks! I'm looking to have a truss rod cover engraved like this bad photoshop job I did in the image below.
