Please note: There are a LOT of different Firebird/Thunderbird style truss rod covers, and they all look very similar but are slightly different. It is imperative that you use due diligence when making a selection. That's why we included a detailed measurements photo. Please reference it. If your measurements are close but not exact look at our other offerings, you might find one that's exact. We are working hard to get as many different templates as we can; so if we simply don't have one that you need you can help by providing us with a tracing.


GaryG's Custom 3 Ply Thunderbird Truss Rod Cover cut from Black/White/Black 3 Ply with a 45 degree beveled edge. Compatible with a number of Thunderbird and non reverse Firebird guitars. And NOT compatible with a number of Firebird and Thunderbird style guitars-- SO CHECK OUT THE MEASUREMENT PHOTO. It is shape #7, which was made from a template we commissioned directly from a 2018 Gibson Thunderbird bass. We guarantee it will fit one of those, but for everything else you MUST MEASURE! We have other shapes and reverse TRC's in other listings. This listing also includes new screws. Die Cut vinyl decals applied here at the shop. We have these decals made for us specifically for these truss rod covers and they look killer! Includes 3 new mounting screws.

Comes with gold foil vinyl modern style Gibson logo decal. We can also swap for a flat silver metallic, chrome or red modern style Gibson logo-or the fat vintage style logo. We have Epiphone decals as well in the same colors. If you don't contact us when you make the purchase we will ship with the gold modern style Gibson logo.

International Customers

Due to the extremely high cost of shipping internationally, and the even more extreme cost of RETURN shipping, we reserve the right to cancel international orders. We promise to do our best to communicate with you to make sure you get the correct guard for your guitar, but if we don't receive responses to our communication attempts, we will cancel the order. We've simply had enough people not read the descriptions or assume that a pickguard will fit their instrument without using any due diligence whatsoever--then expect us to pay for return shipping--that it's literally killing us. We won't do it anymore. If you find a pickguard that you think will fit your guitar, contact us and include the make, model and year of your guitar for verification BEFORE you order. If we don't hear from you or you don't respond to us we will cancel the order. Period.
