Truss rod cover for Warmoth LP

[ozyonum]

I want to put a wood truss rod cover to my beautiful Warmoth LP rosewood/rosewood neck to complete it in the best possible way..

The Gibson bell style 2 hole truss rod covers don't fit to Warmoth necks but Epiphone style 3 hole ones seem to do, unfortunately not many of the bell type 3 hole wood truss rod covers are on the market, the only one i could find was magohany and it will not look good on rosewood.. Question is did anyone try any of the "Taylor style" truss rod covers, the dimensions seem ok..

And i didn't drill any holes yet on my neck for cover, want to choose the best first.

Looks very nice 

Unfortunately for me they don't ship to Dubai - that's where i live. I'm kinda stuck with e-bay listings..

You might want to check with DangerousR6 - he's doing truss rod covers now. He needs to start a thread on them, though. They're tough to find. But, you can see the first batch here.

Warmoth doesn't offer truss rod covers, do they? I did look, but maybe I missed it on the site.

A neat plastic truss rod cover comes together with the neck, but i want a wood one, rosewood necks are just too beautiful to put a plastic cover on them  :sad:

From what I've read, Dubai is a fairly prosperous city. I would think there's a custom furniture or cabinet maker around somewhere, or somebody like that who deals in wood veneers. Maybe you could get a plastic cover that fits and has the shape you'd like, take it to one of those guys, and have them use it as a template to cut you a wooden one. Just a thought.

And it's a very good thought. Search continues, but could not find raw rosewood yet, probably i have to get my lazy ass up and hit furniture shops as you suggested..

Completed my LP finally finding a nice magohany truss rod cover, lighter than rosewood somehow matching to the body color.

That works very nicely  :icon_thumright:
